I'm not banded yet. I have many banded friends and associates. One bandster is on many conference calls with me at the office - everyone knows she's on the line because we can hear her throat girgling. I always have to remind her to mute her line.

Do other bandsters have this problem? What causes it? This lady is obviously not disturbed by the fact that she girgles, but if I have that problem post banding I would not like it. Is this condition preventable?

I JUST GOT MY FIRST FILL YESTERDAY. IM NOT SURE IF IT IS ENOUGH. I ATE A BOWL OF CEREAL THIS MORNING BUT IM NOT REALLY FULL. NOT HUNGRY BUT I ATE THE WHOLE BOWL. I GOT 2 CC'S . YA THINK IT IS ENOUGH? I HOPE I AM POSTING PROPERLY, NOT USED TO THIS YET.:help:

Gurgles are the MINOR noises that my body makes!! I have had 2 fills and still feel no restriction, but boy am I noisy!! My stomach gurgles, growls, and barks! My throat does the same. The worse thing is the belching!! After I eat, it sounds as if I am belching from my toenails!! It can get embarrassing. I just try to eat very little if I know that I'm going to be in an important meeting or in a quiet courtroom!!! But, like others have said, it's a small price to pay!
