Hi! I was banded 6/27/08 and I'm really excited that I finally made the decision and went through with it. I'm still sore in the upper abdomen and not sleeping well since I'm a stomach sleeper. This evening all the sudden my mouth filled with saliva and I experienced a very salty taste sort of like boullion and I became a little nauseated. I managed to drink some water and didn't throw up. It occured again about 1hr later just as I lay down to sleep. Any ideas on what is causing?

I am not sure at all..but it could be reflux..Id check with my Dr. if it happens again..was there pain to?

I too had my surgery on June 27 and experienced what you are describing while in the hospital. The doctor told me it was from the anesthesia and CO2 and that walking will help eliminate the gases and anesthesia in your body. So, walk, walk, walk and it should go away. Mine did.

It does sound like the taste I kept tasting and was told it was anesthesia too. If you're ever in doubt just call the doctors office. The nurses are always willing to answer questions :smile2:
