Post op 2 yrs, down 96 lbs

[JakesWife 0]

YAY!! 96 lbs. But I am experiancing some problems. I go to sleep on and empty stomach, drink only Water, no soda, no coffee, Water and hot tea thats it. But I am regurgitating clear liquid in my sleep, it goes into my lungs, sinus cavity, and mouth. There is no color, completly translucent, nothing solid in it, and it is not acidic. I am not drinking anything after 8 and I am in bed by about 10:30pm. My stomach is constantly making this sound that can only be described as a frog like "ribbit". When I relax and start to transition into sleep my stomach makes alot of these "ribbit" sounds and I belch, with the air coming up my throat comes this liquid. I have begun to take two gas-x before bed. This helped for about two weeks and I was able to sleep the whole night through. However, the last three nights I have been waking up coughing, vomiting, or to have my nasal cavity filled with this liquid that then runs down my face.

I lost my job and currently dont have insurance, so I need a little direction. I have no problems with reguritation of food, during the day I am fine. This is a nocturnal issue only. But I would donate a kidney if I could just get some sleep.

Thanks.

I don't have answers but i can say that I'm going through almost the same thing right now. It has been going on at least the last 10 nights. I started with severe acid reflux at night and now that I've started prilosec and some meal time changes, etc this is what I'm left with. I was attributing it to my sinuses draining?? I also am left with a chronic night time cough so I figured the clear liquid that was coming up was because the cough didn't have anything else to bring up. I'm in the same boat as far as insurance goes. I have insurance but my deductible is HUGE because I work for a small company so I really can't afford yet another 12 minute doctor's appointment just to have the doc tell me things I already knew.

I have no idea what this is all about but I do know it's very strange and I'm not sure what to attribute it to. Sorry I can't help - just wanted to let you know there are others out there.

I'm sorry if this is something you already know, but here's what I do: sleep with your head on a stack of 3 hard pillows. It works for me.:thumbdown:

I have only had two fills. I have 2 mls, in my band. Not to mention that my last fill was a year ago. I really really dont want to have my fill pulled, only to gain back my weight. I am going to try to change up my meals. Try to change what I am eating and see if it makes a differance. If not, then I will go to the doc. But I have to say this sucks!:thumbdown:

I don't want to scare you, but my doc told me if I develop a night time cough, or have issues such as this at any point to immediately call and come in, it could be slippage or band erosion, or a simple unfil for a time. Please don't take chances with your health.
