Sleeved 2/7/17. I have never had acid wake me up or had issues in the past. But last night after a long, stressful conversatation, I at dinner at 11:30pm (chicken and a little jello). I went to bed at midnight only to wake up at 1:30 to the burning sensation and coughing up some dinner.

Don't think I'll do that again! Stop eating 2 hours at minimum before bed. Luckily a little liquid antacid and I was back in bed asleep minutes later...

Twice in my life I have woken up choking on acid. Once was years ago and then the second time was post surgery. It's no joke. I aspirated acid and was coughing up this sweet bitter bile for at least a day.

I sleep on a mountain of pillows if I eat later now just to avoid it. That's good you were able to get back to sleep!!
