What's with all of the sound effects?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on may 10th and I consider the whole ordeal to be a success so far but just wondering if I am the only one who thinks he/ she is having the pod race scene from star wars episode 1 play out in my internals after I ingest anything? Lots of movement, tons of noise but the gas doesn't want to come out? I am considering recording it and trying to get my small intestines a record deal....

Thanks,

Ben

Banded on May 10th in Pensacola Florida by Dr. Jeffrey Lord.

Hi Ben, I got mine on the 10th too and I have the same story so far so I guess it must be normal...

I was banded Feb 23 and I still have those from time to time. Me and my husband just laugh when it goes off. My husband always thinks I am hungry when he hears me all gurgally but I tell him I'm not. I just take it as a reminder of my band and that it is working. :o

LMAO!! i had mine done April 12th,2011. And be prepared, it doesnt go away. it might be good one day and the next sound like a bomb is going off. At our seminars the Vetrans talk about this alot. They just told us to get some gas-x or some other kind of antacid. But i dont think it really helps alot.

I gurgle so loudly other people can hear it. It is especially loud when lying in bed at night.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
