Hello Rahe,

Mine happens anytime, it doesn't need any to start.  I had the gagging when eating before surgery.  That has stopped. This one is like I get a hair stuck in my throat for a few minutes then goes away as strangely as it came.  I have been told it could be my nerves or even refex, so to me it is anyones guess.  I am going with the nerves cause it happens when it wants and feel nothing around stomach.

  Hi Sheila....yes a few members including myself have had this and I always thought it was my own saliva that I was gagging on...but it has stopped happening frequently....I only have it happen on a more rare occasion.

I also would gag after laughing....so it was more bothersome then and if I laugh too much ( not sure what too much laughing is until I gag) now it can still happen....And have had it lead to vomiting in the past too....so I do know what u are talking about but u did not have this preop....so I would suggest u call ur NS....something is not right.
