Choking In My Sleep

I've been bandad for 2 years now and have lost 41 lbs, 20 lbs more and i'll be at goal.

My problem is, I had a fill last week 3.5 to a 4cc band. Since my lap band I have had

acid reflux and need Rx medication, and it's been working. Just in the last few days

I have been up in the night "choking", last night It happened maybe a dozen times.

Im able to eat and drink during the day, I do have lots of restriction and my consumption

is a lot less, I feel this is a good fill. I do need to confess to eating later in the evening

before bed, but have stopped this recently. Last night was the 1st night where I didnt

eat or drink 2 hrs before bed, and it was the worst night ever for choking. Im worried.

I'll continue to not eat before bed, up it to 3 hours prior. I'll call my Dr. and ask if I can

take another Rx for GERD early in the evening. If that doesnt work, im worried about

losing my band.

  • Yes , too tight. You need to go back and have some fill removed as otherwise you risk all sorts of serious complications, including possibly losing your band.

    I also think it sounds like you are too tight. Night cough and acid reflux are both signs of that.
