rebecca61885 35 Posted May 10, 2014 Ok so lately... As in the last couple of weeks... I've been waking up about 45 minutes after dozing off to sleep and throwing up. I've even started keeping a trash can bedside because it happens so fast. It's not food... I'm almost wondering if I'm frothing from a later dinner than normal and laying down is causing the reaction. This morning my sweet hubs brought me Breakfast in bed and I dozed back off after eating only to have it happen yet again. Now killer acid reflux. None of the foods are the same. Thought it was possible the Vitamin I took close to bedtime until it happened again today. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted May 10, 2014 I would recommend you not eat and lie down so soon. If you have dinner at 6 pm and go to bed at 10 pm, maybe the food has time to digest a little. Are you taking the Prilosec also? I am 6 months post sleeve and it was recommended I stay on the Omeprazole. Taking the Vitamins at bedtime might also be bad. I would take everything earlier. Good luck! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recycled 2,182 Posted May 10, 2014 Try using a foam wedge under you in the bed to slightly raise your head. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endless80 697 Posted May 10, 2014 It's acid reflux. I've woken up choking on it before and could easily see how someone would/could throw up. Try Prilosec and see if that works. 2 rebecca61885 and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassy Pants1 186 Posted May 10, 2014 I've seen posts on this before and they all indicated this happens when they eat too close to bedtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought it was possible the Vitamin I took close to bedtime until it happened again today. Any thoughts? I went through that and put off going back to doc until I got awakened in my sleep (again) but this time aspirated. 3 days later I had pneumonia. I then realized what was going on and got in to see the doc ASAP. I ended up having a "reservoir" develop which was storing some of the food and now I'm going to get another band (not a new port) this week. Don't mess with middle of the night acid reflux.
