War
I swear there is a war going on in my stomach. Everyday since surgery (12/10) I've felt and heard everything that I've ate or drank get digested in my belly. It's annoying but I've tolerated it because it wasn't painful and I thought it was normal. Now, for the past few nights, I've woken up out of dead sleep vomiting stomach bile. I swear it's like a volcano erupted and it burns all the way up. So I called my surgeon's office and after talking to the doc, he decided to prescribe me a liquid reflux medicine. I'm already taking protonix but this medicine is supposed to work better.
My question is, has anyone else dealt with this?? Does it go away? What is everyone else taking for excess stomach acid? Anything over the counter? I don't know if I can handle any more nights like the past two. I'd like to nip this in the bud real quick. Any suggestions?
I never had this problem, but just a thought:
Has your eating plan changed drastically in the last few days? If you have just progressed to a new stage, maybe your sleeve doesn't like something you are giving it. I would try taking out some of the most recent additions to my diet and see if that helps. I would especially take a look at dinner, since you seem to have more trouble at night. Just a thought, and it may not even help... but I hope you figure out a remedy soon, because that does not sound like fun!
