Woke!up choking

Get to the doc or get yourself on an acid blocker! Watch the acidic food after about 6pm and raise the head of your bed. I used the bed lifts sold at Bed Bath and Beyond and just put a pair under the top feet. Made a huge difference. Once the swelling went down and I lost a bit more weight things got much better. I still take 40 mg of Omeprazole 2x per day and probably always will. The sleeve is a reflux inducing surgery. Some folks feel it more than others. I was told by my surgeon up front (I went in with some reflux) that the "fix" if it can't be controlled through meds etc, is a revision to bypass. Good luck!

Update: I've not had this happen since the once incident. Thanks for all the advice about not eating or drinking before bedtime. That night, I'd had dinner pretty late due to work and was laying flat on my back while sleeping. I've also made sure that I'm sleeping on my side or propped up if my reflux is a bit hinky.

Thanks again to everyone for your advice. Have a great new year!
