Waking up choking



Recommended Posts

This was happening to me...I felt like I was choking, stuff coming out my nose, coughing etc..... got Fluid removed from my band....a lot but not all....took a break from it for a while, now I am back to what I had in it before...and haven't had the problem since...for me I don't think I was too tight...on those times that it happened..I think I ate too close to bedtime....but it is a very scary feeling when it happens...you feel as though you are suffocating....

I hope it gets better for you.

To echo what others have said. I also have this issue. Try ceasing eating earlier (like hours) before you go to bed. I stop at 7:00 and go to bed at 10:00. Most of the time this fixes it.

But this is well and truly a sign of being too tight. I am, in fact, a bit too tight (for two weeks of my cycle and a bit too loose for the other two weeks), but we tried taking out a bit of Fluid and I could eat everything in sight. The dr and I agreed to a skosh too tight for a few weeks each month is ok since I am getting close to goal.

But keep a good eye on this. Best to mention it to your doctor.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
