Who else's stomach growls really loud (and I really mean loud) when you get hungry? I hear my stomach growling, which should mean I'm hungry, but I don't always feel hungry when it growls. Anyone else have this?

I do!!! My husband thinks it is hilarious!!! I swear, you could probably hear my stomach 100 miles away and yeah, I'm not always hungry when it happens either.

Mine sounds like Water going down a drain. Generally it doesn't mean I am hungry. The funniest was last week when I had to go for fasting blood tests, it was so loud the phlebotomist could hear it!

The loud growling is driving me a little nuts too. Strangers have stared at me in line at the bank or grocery store when it gets going. It wasn't like that before the band. I'm hungry all of the time it seems, and when it's growling like that I just can't stand it. Drinking during a growl fest just makes it louder somehow.

does this get better as you get more restriction? I have my 2nd fill coming up on 11/5 (every 6 weeks... very conservative practice)

omg, too weird, i experience this all the time---like right now as a matter of fact. I think it has to do with things empting out of our small pouch into the remaing stomach. nothing to worry about, but could be a little embarassing.

I also have the same problems. Its loud. My practice also only does fills every 6 weeks. My next to 2nd fill in next wednesday. I hope it gives me more restriction then I have now.

Haha! Mine does it all the time.

I'm never really hungry now, but my stomach just goes and goes and it's loud enough for people in the cubicles next to mine to hear it when I'm at work.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
