Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Well, I had a SLD, have since been transected, and when food gets stuck or I eat too fast, I, too, get that mucus and saliva thing. Sometimes the food comes up, sometimes it doesn't. I always attributed the saliva thing to the backup when the stoma is blocked, whatever caused it. For me, the signs of the SLD were being able to eat more than I should have at 3-6 months and the weight gain. I never did get that " full " feeling, then or now. To me, full means quit now or lose it. in NJ *********************************** In a message dated 10/29/2002 5:15:49 PM Eastern Standard Time, njtomato@... writes: > Now you know how normally when you get full it's up high, between the > boobs?
