I was beginning to wonder WHEN I would feel restriction again like I did right after surgery. I got it now with my 3rd fill last week!! I think I have 5 or 6 cc's in my band. My "stuck" scale is finally working again! I saw a poll about this somewhere here, and felt better when I read it a few weeks ago. And it turned out to be true!

I was banded May22 I have lost 49 lbs. I'm having trouble with what the Dr is calling mucus in my pouch. Have you had and experience with that. If I don't drink something hot before I eat, everything comes up with all this mucus (snot). I wonder if I could take an allergy pill to dry it up. I'm going to ask at the next Dr visit. I have also had 3 fills and other than the mucus I feel great.

I have no clue what would cause that. Where would it come from? Is your stomach producing it? Try a search with a couple of key words on this site.

The only issue I have, is when I eat too fast or a little too much, my saliva starts gushing, my eyes start watering and my mouth fills with slimy spit. I think its what bandsters call "sliming" and I can't swallow it, I have to spit it out. If its really bad, I throw up. This is all normal from what I've learned here.
