Morning --- not gonna say good morning this morning as Im soooooo tired I feel like Im gonna :faint: .........at any rate looking for someone to tell me what may be happening with me. last three nights in a row Ive been not able to get through the night with out tossing up the liquids I had before bed. Meaning, im drinking a bottle of Water or crystal light or some such thing before bed, I hit bed and with in 20 minutes I will spend the next 2 hours gettingup every twenty minutes to toss all the liquids up. Im ok if I sit straight up, tried this in the tub last night, however the minute my head hit the pillow I felt nauseous and with in several minutes I was rushing back to toss up the liquids....today other than being tired :notagree , i feel fine, and am certainly getting my liquids down, and even food.... am I doing something wrong?:cry

You are too tight. Whatever's in your pouch when you lie down refluxes up and into your esophagus. You might be able to manage it by not taking in any food or liquid for several hours before lying down, but in my experience that's only a temporary fix. You really need to talk to your doctor about getting an unfill to loosen things up a little.

Good luck!!

I second Alexandra's opinion. Reflux is a pretty classic symptom of being too tight.

Hope you feel better!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
