Help! Has anyone felt this before? I am almost 4 days out of surgery and I noticed last night that everytime I take a drink (sip) I feel a gurgle and I start feeling gas like pain. Is this normal? I am trying to stay positive but it is getting harder and harder. Any advise would help.

It is very normal. You may have many sensations and noises in your bandster life. At just 4 days post-op you still have swelling and fluids and air pass through the stoma and make noise. Follow your doc's post-op directions. As long as the Fluid is staying down you are fine.

Very normal and if you are lucky it means you have some decent restriction early on. As long as you are getting in your fluids, Protein, and (chewable or liquid) Vitamins you are fine!

Yes, 2 yrs out and I still gurgle. Makes my husband laugh. I didn't start gurgling tho till I was at proper restriction - about 4 mths out. So yours is a good sign! Just sit back, relax, and add words to your tunes!

I get it too, especially first thing in the morning when I have my Breakfast shake.

Pretty Cool, Huh?

Lets me know the band is right where it needs to be and is still tight, doing it's job. I get more concerned when the band does not give me any kind of feedback.

It wouldnt be so bad but it is uncomfortable sometimes and I am sipping slowly. I hope it is just from being swollen because right now it makes it hard to get all my liquids in.

      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!
