Reflux???

Most nights, when I'm laying down trying to fall asleep - and sometimes while I am already asleep- I wake up choking on a liquid. At first I thought it was reflux, but it is not acidic at all. Once I sit up I am fine. Any ideas what this can be? I am at a loss.

I should mention I had my last fill 8 days ago and all has gone well, with the exception of this. And it does not happen every night, but most nights. I m exhausted and need sleep.

Is this happening more when you've eaten closer to bedtime?  are you drinking before going to bed?  If this continues, you might want to call the doctor and see if they can check your band placement.

I usually do have something to drink before bed, but definitely not anything to eat. It's usually at least 3 hours since I've eaten anything. I'm considering having a complete unfill, so that if anything is going on, it will be able to heal properly.

You may need a slight un fill. I have had the same problem but mine was acid but .2 unfill worked for me. Hope you see your doctor and get some relief soon
