Q& A with Dr. Beltre
Q: "I’m five weeks out of sleeve surgery I eat 2 to 3 tablespoons of food and I still get slime why?"
A: This so called "slime" may be saliva and other secretions that are accumulating in the pouch. The main cause of these may be a stricture or narrowing of the sleeve. Consult with a bariatric surgeon. You need to get an upper Gi series and and endoscopy or EGD. These tests will diagnose the problem. If there is a stricture, the gastroenterologist can dilated or stretch it during the endoscopy. In the mean time, drink hot beverage in the morning and before meals. This will help empty the pouch of saliva and secretions. I hope this helps.
