Acid Reflex?

[pele1 0]

I had my surgery 4 years ago and have never really had a problem with unloading. But, lately in the mornings almost like clock work i vomit an acidy liquid that seems to build up during the night while im sleeping. When going to sleep at night i have no problems at all. i try not sleep right away after i eat @ night. but it's getting a'lil wierd!

Has anyone had this or heard of this before??? Thanks

You are lucky that you can wait until morning to "unload". I had the same problem except I was actually waking up with vomit on my pillow and bed. Acid Reflux (GERD) was the cause of my problems. I had to start taking an antacid around 8pm everynight and there can be no eating after that. I also put a small pillow under my chest only about 2 inches thick and slept with my head higher up. This helped for the most part but I recently had .25 taken out of my band and BANG the acid reflux has went down about 80%. What a relief. If you google GERD if will give you some suggestions.

Best to see your surgeon..he can prescribe something, but you want to make sure it is not something more serious...although it prob is the reflux
