Stomach acid problems

[Patoonces 13]

Woke up in middle of night choking and aspirating on stomach acid. Horrifically painful and disgusting. Is this my future? I'm two weeks out forgot Prilosec one night!

Should not be your future (hopefully)...it's your "now"...

I have that problem whenever I have peanut butter/almonds/nuts after 6-7pm... somewhere in the night or even while watching tv...I'll start coughing/choking ... so I avoid that...tho last night I really really CRAVED some PB...so I had a small spoonful and was ok ... but not going to make it a habit.

Good luck to you...and take your Prilosec (leave a post it on your mirror if you have to!)

I don't want to alarm or discourage you, but I am 6 months out and still have bouts of horrible acid. Going this week to see my surgeon about GERD or whatever is going on. I would keep taking whatever PPI has been prescribed to you and it should manage fine. I was a band to sleeve conversion with some complications so I don't believe my situation is common for everyone.

I still need my PPI every night at 8 months. I tried going off and got an ulcer (very painful). I'm afraid this is my future.

At 6 months out, I am still taking Prilosec 2x daily. I don't have much of an issue with acid except on some mornings. Several times a week, I wake up feeling nauseated. I'm afraid to cut back on the Prilosec for fear it will get worse.

I am 7 months out and experience reflux worse than before surgery. I take nexium twice daily. I get a horrible burning feeling in my stomach and throat, sometimes lasting all day. I hope there is light at the end of this tunnel!
