Waking up choking



Recommended Posts

This was happening to me...I felt like I was choking, stuff coming out my nose, coughing etc..... got Fluid removed from my band....a lot but not all....took a break from it for a while, now I am back to what I had in it before...and haven't had the problem since...for me I don't think I was too tight...on those times that it happened..I think I ate too close to bedtime....but it is a very scary feeling when it happens...you feel as though you are suffocating....

I hope it gets better for you.

To echo what others have said. I also have this issue. Try ceasing eating earlier (like hours) before you go to bed. I stop at 7:00 and go to bed at 10:00. Most of the time this fixes it.

But this is well and truly a sign of being too tight. I am, in fact, a bit too tight (for two weeks of my cycle and a bit too loose for the other two weeks), but we tried taking out a bit of Fluid and I could eat everything in sight. The dr and I agreed to a skosh too tight for a few weeks each month is ok since I am getting close to goal.

But keep a good eye on this. Best to mention it to your doctor.
