Terrifying wake up

[BeeLee37 109]

I was sleeved March 25,2014. Everything has been going pretty good but I just woke up choking. My mouth tastes sour and my lungs are burning, I keep coughing up acidic spit or something and I am scared. I think I breathed some into my lungs.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Oh, and I have been sleeping on the couch propped up to a near sitting position.

are you taking the anacid medicines? stomach continues to secrete acids and they are not used...as stomach is now very small..so we have this acidity. Take your medicines regularly .all the best.

I will call my surgeon today to ask about antacids. I wasn't prescribed any and didn't know I could take them. Did this ever happen to you hopeful2beslim?

I have to take a tablet and a liquid also. start your medicines.

I was prescribed Prevacid and also purchase some gas x strips that also helps. I had my surgery on 3/26 and everything went well. I was told to sit up as much as possible and they gave me medicine in the hospital for acid. I was also told if I walk after every hour that, that would help also. My problem is everything I drink seems to make my stomach feel weird.

My stomach feels weird too, it keeps flopping around and squealing. Not too loud yet but I can hear it.

I am calling my surgeons office when they open, I wasn't given any prescriptions for antacids and at this point I want their permission to take whatever I take.

Thank you both for responding, I was so scared I breathed it into my lungs and my nose, throat and chest were burning so badly when I wrote this post.

I've done this a few times too since surgery. I take Prilosec everyday. It always happens if I lay down too soon after I eat or drink. I have to wait a while before lay down or I'm up taking Tums.
