Flem or something in throat after eating

Hello everyone! Recently I have started having this weird thing happen to me after I eat. Its like i have flem or something in my thoat (similar to post nasal drip when your sick) and I keep having to clear my throat. Im not over eating so Its not that but wondered if anyone else had this before?

Sounds a bit like "slime" which means either you need to chew better, slow down your eating or are eating more than your tummy wants. Remember eat pencil eraser sized bites, chew till liquid and set your fork down between bites so you don't eat too fast.

You need to contact your surgeon and get in to be seen your band may need a slight  unfill. In addition try a PPI for a while. Does it bother you when you are sleeping? Start making phone calls now because in the event that things have tightened around your band you need to get it taken care of ASAP before it gets worse or causes damage.

A constant need to clear your throat can be a sign of acid reflux. If you are eating OK and are not too tight, you could ask your doctor about taking an acid reducer.

I agree with Kate.

For me, that's either a sign of reflux, or a sign that my seasonal pollen allergies have started up.

I don't know if this is something along these lines.  But ever since I have had my Band (since day 1)....whenever I eat, my nose runs.  I have to have a tissue near by...so I can discretely wipe my nose once in awhile during my meal.  Sometimes it's worse than other times.  But maybe you are having sort of the same thing but post nasal drip???  I never mentioned anything about it because it's such a non-issue for me and no one has ever asked about it (that I saw).     

I asked my doctor about it and he said it has something to do with the way the band is sitting on the nerves near my stomach.  Some people get arm pain...I get a runny nose.  Weird...

For me,that was a sign of 'silent reflux' that I did not recognize until I had severe esophagitis and peptic ulcers

a small unfill can make things much better

i find the runny nose thing is a body signal that I have had enough to eat.  Must have something to do in the reflux family. Yay. :( 

I believe that the runny nose or sneeze that signals we have had enough is related to pressure on the vagus nerve.

Excess phlem in the throat is typically a sign of reflux coming up and not draining or post nasal drip that gets 'hung up' because the band is just a bit too tight.
