Thanks very much, I told my Dr yesterday 2/19 and he said it is probably Fluid it my stomach and that is normal. I will let him know your suggestion.

Sounds like gastroesophageal reflux from your sleeve. Try not to eat or drink close to bedtime, maybe raise the head of your bed or sleep on a couple of extra pillows. Hopefully after the swelling in your stomach goes down the Fluid will stay where it's supposed to be!

I agree, I coughed like crazy after surgery and kept the lady awake all night that was in the room with me. I have Gerd and that is when it started. Good luck

Hi Tracyringo, thanks. Each night seems to be a little bit better. I never heard of GERD and looked it up. I never had acid re flux or anything like that until after my surgery. I take Prilosec daily in the morning and last night I also took one before bed. Still woke up coughing but I slept longer before it started. It is painful and pretty scary. I don't eat or drink anything after 6. Bless you and congrats on your journey.

It was my 3rd PPI that took care of it. Have you talked to your Dr. about trying a better PPI ?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
