Coughing? Is it reflux or just a cough?



Recommended Posts

About ten days my allergies started acting up. First my eyes were itchy and watery and then my head got stuffed up. Then I got a horrible cough and lost my voice completely.

When I got my fill last week the doc warned me that a cough can be a sign of reflux but I told him I've been sick with my allergies so he said okay just keep an eye on it.

My voice is back and I'm feeling better but I still have a slight cough here and there. It feels like the normal cough I would have with my allergies but if you had reflux from your band being too tight wouldn't you have other problems besides a mild cough?

Edited to add: yesterday I had a stuck episode and I threw up a little. For about 2 hours after I threw up I did have acid reflux. I could feel the acid. I assumed that's normal but is it?

No answers, but I have been having very bad reflux and the coughing/choking has me up all night. I had an unfill in November and it was better, but I imagine when I go see doc next week I will have more unfill...Keep an eye on it

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
