So I had the sleeve in Mexico 15 months ago. Needless to say no follow up and no maintenance. Kinda rogue in a way. Lost about 40 pounds. Not much admittedly. No one to guide me when I returned to rural Tennesee. Then About 4 months ago I moved to Tampa. Then strangely enough it started. Waking up in the wee hours of the morning with bile in my mouth. No matter how hard I tried it always ended up in agonizing retching for a period of time. Stomach being empty only bile comes up. And obviously severe gerd for the rest of the day. Walking around with a bile taste in my mouth. No abdominal pain to support a gallbladder problem. Never been to an American surgeon knowing they would roll their eyes at my surgery in Mexico. I. Priced it happens more if somehow I am too cold in my sleep. Never had this in Tennessee however. Wondered if it was the high ammonia levels in Tampa water. Any thoughts?

Arabesque thank you. I will heed all your advice.

I understand that you’re hesitant to take your PPI every day. I am a pharmacist and just wanted to point out that PPIs are not effective when only taken a few times per week. You’re literally wasting your money taking them that way. When you see your doctor, make sure to bring your concerns up so that together, you can find a medication regimen that you are comfortable with. Best of luck and I hope you find relief soon!
