I am 7 day post op & am experiencing a lot of night-time cough. Is this normal ? Is it reflux? I am taking pepcid as recommended twice a day so what could this be?

I've never heard of night time coughing after surgery. Do you have sleep apnea? Or maybe a cold? I know that sounds like a simplified question, but trust me, after surgery, everything we feel, we relate it to the surgery. When in doubt always defer to your bariatric team

Is the cough dry? Or are you bringing up mucous? If it's dry, it could be reflux. In addition to the Pepcid, try sleeping at an incline and talk to your doctor if it doesn't get better because they can probably prescribe a different PPI.

Never experienced coughing with reflux. There may be something else going on. Talk to your Doctor or team.
