Hi, my name is Christina. I was banded the other day, Thurs Nov 2. Today is my 1st full day at home. I woke this morning and my stomache was growling? I think, not sure what the sound was. It has been doing it all day off and on. It doesn't hurt. I am on a Jello, broth, h20 diet till Wed when I see my Doc and the nutritionist for the next step. I am a little confused on how much I should drink at once? This usually helps the noise. Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks

Hi Christina,

My stomach regularly does the same thing!! It's REALLY weird feeling and sounds strange. I got my first fill on Thursday and the fleuro showed that there was a lot of air in my stomach and that was causing all of the weird noises.

It seems that when I drink I take in air as well...the doc suggested a couple of Gas-X chewables to get rid of the air, but long-term he told me I needed to learn to drink and eat without swallowing as much air.

Good luck with the grumbling tummy!

Hi Christina, I was banded on Thursday 2/10/06 also. Does that make us bonded somehow it'd be nice to have someone on the same journey at the same time to talk to. I'm also experiencing bloating and noises but also pain under my ribcage and left shoulder not to mention wound pain but I'm sure this will lessen with time,I hope.Having trouble finding things to eat or should I say drink? but have"nt been that ravenous so far.Can anyone tell me how much on average ou lose in 1st month, too much would not be good mice to meet you all and look forward to lots of mutual support I tink we'll need it. banded Barbara

Hi Christina,

I had surgery October 30, 2006. My stomach is doing the same thing but I think it's a mixure of gas and being hungry for me. But, I had wanted to know, "How much should I be drinking at once?" too. If I find the answer i'll let you know a.s.a.p.

Christina,

I was hungry when they woke me up from surgery! My stomach was all twisty and weird, and my I was hungry. I was banded on Nov. 1st also. My docs post op instructions were that we should be able to drink 4-6 ounces of the Protein drink in about 30 minutes. Thats to keep us full for a while, while also not throwing up and possibly slipping the band. It has been 4 days since surgery, and I only just started tonight with the Protein Drink, and I could only get a few sips at a time before I felt full. Now I think I will sip some more, because I have only been doing gatorade, broth, and Water so far. But its hard for me to telll the gas pain from the hunger pain. If I drink Water, sometimes it hurts more! Anyway, I guess we'll get used to it all. Good Luck!!

Thanks everyone for helping me out with this. It has gotten better. Took everyones advise. I have been taking Gas X it "sounds" like it is working. Feels like it too. I have been moving around more as well and that seems to help as well. I also started drinking more broth ( had enough of the boring H20) Thanks again!

Everytime I think I have intergestion, I seem to have to let out a belch. So This could just be the build up of the gases trying to escape. I did start having some Gastro problems today. I think my body is retaliating to all the luquids. Any body else having this problem?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
