I used to have pretty bad acid reflux, especially at night while sleeping. Since surgery I haven't experienced any...until last night.

I was sleeved mid May, and am currently on Prevacid. I have been taking it every day and it's been working great. But yesterday morning, I was soo tired, and cold in my office, I caved and had a cup of coffee.

Last night, well this morning, around 430 am, I woke up to a choking feeling, and there was acid in my throat, I had to get up and cough it out, then drank some water, finally had to take a few tums, which helped a little, but the acid came back slightly and I continued coughing for another 15 minutes, before being able to fall back asleep.

Has this happend to anyone else before? Do you think it was from the coffee that I had 17 hours earlier, or do you think it is something more serious?

Wow, you might want to run that by your primary care doctor..

I have acid reflux as well, had it for several years and am on previcid too.. .. I had "though" it would go away after surgery, it has calmed down some, but not gone away. I have noticed, that something I eat may be fine and sitting well in my tummy, but.... as soon as I add water to it, boom.. it starts... I have gotten it from Crystal light too...

I am not complaining as it is much, much better than prior to sleeve..... but yes, I still have bouts. My primary doctor prescribed disolvable previcid - generic name: Lansoprazole ODT 30MG tablet - I have these for back up, when it kicks in I take the disolveable one as well as the daily capsule.
