I am having my surgery tomorrow so I have been reading A LOT!

I notice people using the term "Sliming themselves"- this sounds so gross to me- what does it mean?

Also, I've read a few times- people saying that the band tightened on it's own? I should have noted the date, as it may be older bands unlike the new ones we're using now... :confused2:

Does anyone have some insight for me?

Sliming isn't gross at all.

You have slime banded or not. It's simply the mucus the esophogas produces to help move food from the mouth to the stomach.

When you have restriction, eating too much or too fast can cause food to linger in the esophogas longer...causing a build up of slime.

This will either carry it thru or help bring it back up.

Takes only a second and is painless.

Thank you so much- I had no idea! lol
