Regurgitation when laying down

Sometimes, very rarely I will eat too much/ too late and wake up in the night coughing because of regurgitating.. Then for the next few days I am sort of close to out of breath and struggle to eat anything or even keep down water sometimes. Has anybody else experienced this?

Yes. Terrible feeling!

I don't eat late, but do drink (ice tea or water). Was told to stop drinking an hour before sleep, if that doesn't work try 2 hours, etc. For me, three hours seems 100%

I get regurgitation if I eat too close to laying down and sleeping. I have to quit eating at least two hours before I go to sleep. When I have experienced this I wake up coughing too, however once the coughing spell is over I have never experienced any other symptoms or feel bad the next day.

If I don't eat by 7pm, then that's it...I don't eat.

Not only did I get what you described, but I also get severe reflux that wakes me up in the middle of the night.

Not eating before going to bed was one of the basic rules I learned even before I had the surgery.

Yes I get severe reflux too, to the point where water burns to even drink. Like I said this happens only very rarely but my god when it does, I experience a world of pain!.. And my band isn't tight it's at a good restriction. Sometimes I have my good weeks and sometimes bad weeks where I eat and I know I'll cause myself discomfort.

Yes had the same issue. My lapband slipped out of place and created an extra pocket on my stomach where food went then went back up in my throat. Not sure the medical term for it, I just thought I had acid reflux. They removed all my fluid and lapband returned to "2 oclock" position. But the extra pocket has to come down or heal as well as my esophogus before they will give me another fill. I am on a liquid diet. If it doesnt heal they told me my doctor has a zero tolerance this and will just remove it. I just had a baby and the vomiting and acid reflix started during my 6 month of pregancy.

This has been happening to me. Did an upper endoscopy and GI put me on medication...I followed up with an ENT and after looking saw that I had post nasal drip which was contributing to the choking sensation. Prescribed me Flonase and it has helped tremendously.

Cassandra- I am going thru the same thing. How are you doing with the liquid diet? Tomorrow will be the end of week 1 on full liquids again. I definetly feel a difference especially when I lay down to go to sleep at night. I still have some sporadic burning, tightening of chest and some gas during the day but before I couldn't even lay down-had to sleep with 5 pillows propping me up.

I am not 100% better yet. I have nothing in my band right now. I think I should try to do full liquids another week but I am not sure I can do it!
