Vomiting At Night



Recommended Posts

A month ago I developed acid reflux, never had a problem b4, Doc prescribes me nexium. A wk ago I go for a fill, & since my fill it seems like I vomiting at night. Late in the night 2/3 am well after I've consumed anything and its mainly liquid. Could be too tight or reflux worst bc of fill?

I am not trying to diagnose or scare you, but I had the very same symptoms and mine was due to a slipped band. I had the saline removed and the symptoms were immediately gone. I have just been rebanded a few days ago. I would definately get this checked out. If nothing else, you are harming your esophogus every time you reflux and vomit. Perhaps you are just too tight. Good luck to you.

You need to go back and see your doctor, sounds like your a little tight. Danger is aspiration from the reflux and too much acid in stomach may create an ulceration in the lining of your stomach. Call the office next week.

Thx for the replies. I go to the doc Tuesday. As far as a slip, you hear all the stories... Not good! I pray that's not it, any other symptoms occurred with your slip?

I would never get full after a meal. And no matter how early or little I ate, I would always regurge at night! The reflux would get into my bronchial tubes and I would feel like I was drowning! This is even with 40mg of Prilosec! food was staying in my pouch way too long and then when I layed down, the acid would shoot up. Sorry to gross you out! My bet is that you are just too tight. If this started after you got a fill, then it is most likely. But only listen to your doctor, you will scare yourself silly if you read all these posts and self diagnose! Best wishes.

Wow, glad you're all fixed up now. I go to the doctor tues, first ill have him do a slight unfill, and tell him I'd also like a GI test to check my band for any abnormalities... Hopefully it's no bad news!

I wish you the best of luck and I hope its just something miner. I also suffered with acid reflux, vomiting in my sleep & throwing up in the past, but that was due to being way way to tight :( . I'm getting ready to have my band revision to a gastric sleeve due to band prolaspe & esophageal dysmobility. I will keep you in my prayers and please keep us updated on your progress.

Interesting that your dr would give you a fill after treating you for acid reflux. Seems to me (not a dr!) that would simply compound the problem. Hope you get some resolution and relief quickly.

I thought about that, I really feel like the fill is what made things worst, so hopefully after I get some out ill be ok.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
