Vsg Doll got a reaction from justanangel68 in Sleeping After Gastric Sleeve Surgery
I bought a recliner but never slept in it. it was not comfortable to me and I would wake up after a couple of hours. I did sleep on the couch alot, and now 1 week out i can lay in the bed on my side with a pillow under my belly.

Vsg Doll reacted to Sleeve2B in Acid! Acid! Acid!
Hello marVal,
I am now 3 weeks out and getting a bad taste of acid reflux also. Today, I can upon a solution that works like a charm.
2 tablespoon of Applecider Vinager mixed with 8 oz of Water.
*note: it will make you PB or throw up if the is too much blockage in your throat, but it will balance the acid out in your stomach/throat.
I did it today and it took less than 45secs to work. I had been PB for like 6 or more hours. I went to work and had to leave because it was coming up every 5 sec. But I did my research before I left, and tried t when I got home. Worked beyond belief.
Take care
