I had surgery on 10 December I’ve had trouble getting enough liquids down when I’m sleeping at night things come back up and it chokes me through the night has anyone experienced that

Oh, perhaps you need to recline in a chair or prop up with pillows in bed to avoid this choking

I sleep on a wedge pillow. It helps a lot. Also, try not to drink too close to bedtime, that exacerbates the problem. Hope your recovery is going well, otherwise!

Is that reflux issue

you need your head to be above your stomach, and it will be fine

Sounds like you might want to talk to your dr about reflux. Did you have hustle hernia repair with your sleeve?

It might help to add more pillows to make your head lie higher than the rest of the body. It will prevent choking because the liquid will not get from your stomach to your throat. In this case, I would recommend using big pillows made of memory foam like this amazon body pillow. Pillows like this one provide the best conditions for sleeping and are designed for pain-free nights. I have one like this, and I love it, especially because I am rather long, and this long pillow supports every part of my body. I think that anyone would like a pillow like this.
