I threw up in my sleep :(



Recommended Posts

So it's been a month since surgery and I can't complain besides not being able to go to the bathroom. So like everyone who recommended I bought milk of magnesia. I had it 2 weeks ago and I gagged horribly. But it did help using the bathroom. 2 nights ago I took it before I went to bed since I am at work and school all day. Once again I gagged washed my teeth and the taste went away. This night I had nightmares about food. I was eating lots of pizza(my favorite) and kept telling myself wow this is not hurting my sleeve.. Then I started eating lots and lots of sweets. OMG they all tasted sooo good.. I can't remember exactly the last dream but I woke up because I almost chocked on my throw up.. It was Water but I thought I was going to die. It only happened that night. Do you guys think this is dangerous? Should I be worried? Could it be from milk of magnesia?

if u have acid reflux or "throw up" while laying down. Just means you ate and went to sleep to fast.. At least i found that was the only time i had the issue. So when you eat wait 2-3 hours before bed... then it should happen. Its Yucky! Thank god only happened 3 times to me before i smartened up..

That's the acid reflux. When you eat or drink anything, wait a couple of hours before you lie down.

Agree with above re: not lying down shortly after eating/drinking.

I don't like the chalky taste of MOM so I use Perdiem tablets--two at night and I get results by morning.

      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?
