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

Foods.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
