Night Coughing ?????



Recommended Posts

I had my lap band surgery 1 year and 3 months ago. I have recently been having coughing at night. Every night. I mean when I lay down it starts immediately and no matter how I lay I cough until I get up.

I lost right at 100 pounds but at what cost if I can't get any rest. Please anyone have any advice. I've tried propping up the pillows. I don't eat hours before bed. I'm just at my wits end.

Thanks

Carl

Why do you cough? Is it acid reflux, or allergies? Makes a difference of course; may be the band, maybe not!

Chances are very good that you may need an unfill. If you are not having problems PB'ing, but doing the coughin, you may be on the edge. I was overfilled and was having horrible night coughing and waking up ready to vomit with lots of acid. The minute I got an unfill it went away. You need to call your doctor. I tried to "stick it out" and suffered for two months before I gave up and went and got the unfill. I'll never do that again.

OMG, I thought this was just me. I have since about a week after surgery had the urge to cough pretty much everytime I lay down. I get up and try to sleep on the couch, take a walk at 11 pm to think it will help. Once I prop myself on pillows or lay on the couch I seem to do ok and out like a light.

I do not even have a fill yet and I feel no restriction when i eat. Granted even though I do not feel restriction I am not pushing myself to eat more than the dr told me as I do NOT want to ever get that feeling. blah

you may have a bit of reflux that is being aspirated into your lungs - triggering an "asthma" cough - you should see your GP.

I have recently had terrible night coughing and day coughing as well. It affects my work even. My last fill was 6 months ago with a little bit of reflux after. the coughing has only started about 3 weeks ago. Any ideas?? I am a bit desperate as can't keep this up and also going overseas.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
