When I'm sleeping I wake up choking on my own stomach acid

I am concerned this is not normal and I'm not sure how to prevent it. I lie elevated on pillows but it reoccurs. I end up spending the night sucking on tums. Any ideas on how to prevent this. I do stop eating anything after suppertime, I only drink water. Sometimes its so bad my chest feels like its on fire. I'm 2 months post-op
