Whats with the noise?



Recommended Posts

All of a sudden, over the last 2 -3 weeks my band makes the loudest noises just after a couple bites if food. I have 2-3 bites and the noise kicks in and I have to stop and wait 30 min to an hour before I can resume my meal. I wanted to know if only I could hear it or if people around me could too. So I recorded it and it is loud. To save embarrassment I will only have some Soup at lunch at work. I don't want people around me to hear.

Anyone have any ideas. I had a fill last November but it seems like the noise has started the last couple of weeks. Anyone have any info ?? Help!

I have no idea....weird..call your doctor. Other than the noise, does it feel funny or bad?

You have just begun to hear noises. It s your food passing through your band. I would imagine when we swallow air that it helps make the noise louder. Welcome to your band talking to you. It can be embarrassing when you are sitting with a bunch of people and it starts talking while you are eating.

Music to my ears! Every morning with my first cup of coffee I hear that "Gurgling" sound....like Water cricleing a drain...

Question...why do you stop eating and then continue later???/ When the band says stop...I stop! One of the most important lessons I ever learned, was to listen to my band.....Otherwise I would get into the bad habit of grazing...

I stop eating so I can keep it down and then I can eat the rest a little later. Hater maybe 30 min the noise stops and I can eat the rest. Sometimes the noise continues for 20-29 min. It happens after only 4 bites of food so that's not enough to live off of.

I named my gurgling "mertyl"

Taking a little Fluid out helped but it still gets crazy with citrus and very acidic

My stomach is always grumbling and growling. It's done that since day 1 after surgery. I burp as well. The band is preventing our bodies from quickly releasing all the air that builds up while we eat now. I think that's why I tend to have lots of little burps while I eat. I just ignore it. I figured out that hiccups are my "stop signal". Once I start hiccupping, my meal is over. ... or else I'll be sorry I didn't quit eating.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
