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.

Yeah thats pretty normal. I'm 14 months out and still get that. Remember to sip slowly.

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!

Very Normal...My husband tells me I sound like Chewbacca...lol

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.

LOL....I gurgle every day. Sometimes, so loud people can hear it...haha and I am 19 months post op
