Waking up choking



Recommended Posts

I had my band in Sept 2010 and the night before last I woke up choking... It was soo scary.. I've since had Fluid taken out and have been on a soft diet since, but my chest still hurts.. I vomited twice after choking.. I think it was a combination of reflux and eating before bed... I'm just hoping the pain subsides and it's nothing serious. In the 2 1/2 years since I've had my band I've only had about 7 vomiting episodes. This is all new to me.

I woke up early this morning and ate something went back to sleep and woke up choking. It is important to not eat close to the time you go to sleep. It is such a scary feeling. Please also call your doctor. Be healthy!

Your exactly right it is reflux and especially if you ate before bed. Try not to eat that close to bedtime. Do you take any reflux meds?? If not you might want to discuss that with your doc.

I started taking anti-inflammatories for a back injury that has gotten progressively worse over the years.. Apparently they make your system produce more acid. Not to mention I was trying to be good and up my Water intake but neglected to remember lemons are highly acidic and should not have added then to my water, Esp after 6pm ... Needless to say, I won't be doing that again and have started taking prevacid... Thanks ladies! Xoxo

Are you saying you've been taking NSAIDs? Ibuprofen, aleve, even aspirin are NSAID medications and they cause a thinning of the protective lining of the stomach which can lead to erosion. Best to get yourself checked out, ASAP. :)

In the meantime I'm dealing with the back pain and skipping Aleve for a while.. At least till I feel 100%

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
