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).

hello pianoman, maybe it's not the same for everyone but i did and still do get that now and then i think it's just wind well that's what i put it down too maybe someone will tell us different i was banded in july 2005 and whatever it is it hasn't done me any harm, regards jenny

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.

Awwww, now that's snoring I could put up with! How cute is that?!!!!!

Glad your gurgling has become manageable!

Awwwwwwwww he's adorable!! I love when dogs snore lol .. it just makes me laugh, for hours. Dunno why *shrugs*

He could sleep in my bed anytime he wants lol...

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"?

Oh for the love of God! What a beautiful puppy!!

What is the breed? I want one!

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.

your dog is adorable i love dogs i have a german sheperd myself ther's a guy who walk's his two basset's passed my house everyday and they are so friendly i think my next dog will be a basset, by the way pianoman where you from in uk i originally came from cheltenham but came to beautiful melborne 34 years ago
