Every since my 3rd fill last week, which is the tightest I've been, my throat has been making these strange noises everytime I eat or drink more that 4 oz of water at a time. It is kinda embarrsing when I'm around people. Has anyone else experienced this.

Did you maybe swallow a cricket in the night? *grins*

Seriously, have a peek at this thread where this topic was discussed.

Sounds like you're gurgling. I do that so loudly that I've learned to just go "Oops! Excuse me!" and cover my mouth. Everyone thinks it's a burp anyway, and going along with it is easier than explaining. I really only do it anymore if I'm stuck on something, but used to do it any time I ate or drank.

thank you ladies, that really helped me out:)

Oh i'm right there with you, only it can go on for 30 min or more sometimes. I haven't told anyone about the band but it's practically given itself away with the weightloss and the odd noises. It's HORRIBLE in a funny kind of way.

I have this all the time, and want to talk embrassing I'm in customer service so I'm on the phone all day. It is really bad right after lunch. Since you can't tell that is coming there is no way to stop it try to hide. By now all of customers know that I have the lap band so they think nothing of it, But sometimes I get new people and have to do some quick thinking.
