Wierd Gurgling Noises!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I had a fill. It seemed to go well, and the floro indicated everything was normal.

The odd thing is... Last night, I was kept awake by odd, gurgling noises within my stomach. Most Perculiar.

I can drink fluids with no problems, and I feel fine - will these odd noises disappear, or will I be forever watching cable TV at three in the morning? (as unpleasant as it sounds).

I get this, especially when I have a good fill. My mom can even hear it when we talk on the phone. My hubby lays in bed and laughs at the "opera". It can be quite embarassing at times though lol...

So, the question I must ask is... Does it go away, and how long does it take?

I LOVE my noises, it tells me my band is at work..

in my experience, if your filled good.. they dont go away.

(these should not be uncomfortable or cause chest pain in anyway.. the ones I aam talking about)

So, the question I must ask is... Does it go away, and how long does it take?

I experience it most often if I'm filled too much (in which case a small 0.1ml unfill usually fixes it). Also, if I've eaten too close to bedtime or if its during the daytime and I've eaten too much at a meal.

Its not a constant thing for me now, but a few months ago when I was quite tight, it happened alot. I've also started making sure I 'rinse' my pouch out by drinking lots of Water, before I go to bed .. that seems to have helped.

As with anything though, be sure to mention it to your doctor if it concerns you. Mine told me it was normal to experience it occasionally.

Oh .. I've been meaning to ask .. do you play (the piano) or are you just a fan of Billy Joel?

Thanks for that info!

During the evening, I am a piano player - sometimes professionally, sometimes just for fun. I play at weddings, in restaurants, that sort of thing.

Of course, the problem with playing the piano is... I'm sat down - it's probably the worst instrument for weight loss. :)

LOL .. I play the computer, both for work and for fun, so I feel your pain. Atleast your instrument makes beautiful music - mine gives me a "chatter's arse" hehe.

Believe me, "Piano Player's Arse" is a very similar condition!

At least when you're using a computer, no-one's saying "Play it again, Sam" EVERY half an hour.

(not that I'm bitter, you understand) :)

***UPDATE***

I'm very pleased to say my gurgling noises have stopped, and the only thing keeping me awake at night is my dog's snoring. (see attached) :cake:

Must have been the band adjustment settling down a little.

If you think he's adorable now, you should have seen him when he was a pup! (attached pic, with my dad holding him):confused:

Why can't they stay like this, instead of growing up, and playing a swift game of "steal the TV remote, for attention"?:)

It's a Basset Hound. They are cute, but very stubborn - try getting a TV remote back from a Basset, and you'll know what I mean.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
