I have read through quite a few posts about the sliming and PBing. But I want to make sure I understand what is happening.

When people are explaining the sliming, it sounds like mucus but for me, my mouth gets very watery like I want to throw up but it passes once the food passes and I just have to spit a few times. It is nothing really gross, just a lot of saliva.

Is this the same thing?

My second question is probably dumb but have to ask anyway, where exactly is stuff getting stuck. It seems to me that when I eat and that feeling is there of getting stuck, but I am trying to understand exactly where?

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Yes that is sliming!

Food is getting stuck in the mid esophagus around your chest area. It never reaches your pouch -which is why it's "stuck". It's very uncomfortable, all you want is for it to come out or go down!:laugh:

I am still trying to figure things out. I got banded Dec. 10, 2007; over a year ago. It has went well, but now I have to get an upper GI because the doctor thinks I may have a slippage since I wasn't able to eat or hardly drink over the weekend.

I understand that slimming is when I spit up think slime/mucus without vomitting. It sometimes causes me to vomit when I am bent over the toilet slimming. I try not to vomit to reduce the chance of band slippage or stretching my pouch. I am now confused. Is it possible that the band can slip or pouch stetch with vomitting?
