Since I had my 4th fill I have had a big problem with my saliva being very thick. It's not all the time, just after I eat. Also, when I throw up, it looks like the throw up itself is inside of a bubble. Sorry bout that but I wanted to check to see if anyone else has had or is having this happen with them? If so, what is causing this?

You are now officially entered into the Lapband club of "Sliming or PB'ing(productive burp)". This is what happens when you eat too fast, take big bites, and dont chew well. When you do any of these things, you will produce a lot of saliva and when u throw up, it might come up with all that saliva just as you swallowed it. That happens to me because I eat way too fast. Its all trial and erro. I would say almost everyone here has experienced that at one time or another. Remember, small bites, chew well, eat slow. Good luck!!

The exact same thing happens to me, but I didn't know the terms.

I noticed that, "In a bubble" thing the other day. I am glad to know it isn't just me!!!! I HATE sliming!!!

First you have to visit slime city.

I can even slime from drinking liquids too fast or too much at a time.

I hate sliming, but I love my band!

Best wishes.

Slime is so nasty but is part of our new world. Eating slower is part of what I deal with. I get in such a hurry.

You know, they used to sell stuff called "Slime". Maybe we should be packaging and selling the stuff. :thumbup:

LOL, Ahh so im not a total freak then!!!! SoOOOOo pleased to read that other people have this yukky stuff too. :thumbup:

Yes, this is icky isn't it? Happens to me a lot when I move back to real foods after a fill. It's that darned learning curve. For this not to happen, I need to eat very slowly and chew very well. It's SO EASY for me to forget to do that!

AND - keep a barf bag in the car for emergencies. Learned the hard way!

I get this too - sometimes from not being focused on eating (and as a result eat too fast), sometimes from drinking water too soon after eating.

I've learned over the years to control the slime buildup fairly consistently. I can sense the internal pressure when it's building up, so I might walk around a bit - that helps to jar loose whatever's gummed up the works. Also, taking slow, deep, controlled breaths helps it to clear. And, oh man, it's SUCH a sensation of relief when it clears. Like a clogged drain suddenly letting the water flow. lol

I had RNY and I also have this issue. But only when I throw up. If I notice something isn't settling in my tummy very well and I go to throw up I notice it is very thick.
