Hi my name is Darlene and I am new to this forum. My stomach rumbles and make strange noises, it is almost like it is hungry, but I am full. I mentioned this to my doctor and he said it was because I was eating healthier now. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I also get the hiccups and burp alot.

Thanks for your replies.

my tummy does that too. lol! and burps and hiccups a lot too.

Yes, I rumble alot! I guess, since I am not new, it is just a sign of the times! Karen

Gas X dissolving strips. It is natural at this stage, but the strips help get rid of some of the rumblings.

Welcome to band world. Where things go creak and squeak and bump in the night ( and the rest of the day too). It is usually at it's loudest when you are in a room with other people and there is a lull in the conversation!

I think the rumbling is gas and I heard that burp/hiccups means your full. I know it always happens when I'm done eating. Who knows?

The hiccups are the worst.

Wait, what?! Hiccups?? How did I miss this important information?? I get the worst hiccups now, when I get them. It winds up being painful. And you're saying I'm going to get them more? Man... If I had known this before, it might have been a deal breaker. (not really ) But still!

The hiccups are the worst.

I just got banded Monday and I noticed the hiccups, that is the least of my worries. The gas is still doing somersaults all over my body. I am so miserable at times I don't even care about etiquette and let it go whenever where ever. The best thing about it is it smells like vanilla from all the protein drinks. I have tried the Gas x followed by going shopping and it helps a little. I even thought about having sex, but too scared to try. While I am on the subject...

My stomach rumbles all the time now. My friends say they dont hear it but it seems so loud to me. I get the hiccups when my stomach is full. Usually just 2 and then it stops.

The hiccups are usually from excess air in your belly..do NOT use straw, smoke or drink carbonated beverages and you'll be fine! I don't ever get the hiccups and I rarely burp. BUT I do rumble..all the time. I can be hungry or full it doesn't matter. I think it's because the food actually can move since I am not so full all the time. I have been banded for 3 and a half months and I dont' regret a second of it!! Good luck all

My doc told me the painful hiccups and burps are from not chewing good enough. So I started to watch how well I was chewing my food and the hiccups stopped. As for the rumbling, I didnt have an issue with that until recently and I have been banded for 8 months. Mine is accompanied by Sharp stomach pains. I have been to the ER a few time and to the Doc, test and xrays even a cat scan showed everything looked fine in my stomach area and port, so I started a process of elimination with my diet and realized I am lactose intolerant/sensative. May not be the case here of course, especially if there is no pain with it, but if it starts to get that way you may look in to

I work in an office and my tummy growls alot. I'm not hungry, I only get hiccups when I eat too fast and they hurt! If not for the hiccups I may have gone back to shoveling food!

My stomach would growl after I had my surgery. At that time, I had no interest in eating whatsoever. Now it growls when I am hungry but I try to keep small portions of things on hand so if my stomach does growl I can appease it until my next meal. I also get burps and hiccups that can be mildly uncomfortable to downright painful.

I go in for my first fill on November 30th and while I am looking forward to it, I am not looking forward to the actual needle. I am also not looking forward to the modified diet again.

Yep, my tummy growls alot and does summer salts too. Aphillipi is correct, Gax X strips help me alot. I keep them at my desk at work and in my purse. I've never had the hiccups (since being banded but I have noticed I burp alot. Hail to the Gax X Strips! LOL

I was banded om 11/23 and have gotten hiccups 3 times. And they HURT! It's not that I'm having difficulty chewing because I'm sill on thin liquids.. I believe it had to do with the amount of air that gets in while I sip. My stomach also makes super loud rumbles. To the point that my 2 year old lifts up my shirt asking what's in my belly making all that noise!
