Hi everybody...I was banded 5 months ago and i cannot stop gurgling, it keeps me awake at night and it is embarassing during the day..i have not lost any weight yet the gurgling is soo bad that i am contemplating having it removed if i cant fix it. does anyone else have the same problem? or suggestions to alleviate this embarassing phenomenon? thank you!

Hi! I was banded in August and after my first fill, I started gurgling too! Yes, it's embarrassing and I hate it but not to the point where I want the band removed. If this is as bad as it gets, I am ok with it! I find that the more I chew, the easier the swallowing is. I think I gurgle more when I eat fast, bigger bites, etc. All the no-no's. Has your surgeon given you any advice about gurgling? I actually haven't thought to ask mine.

He he I to started to gurgle - my kids call it the grumblies. I know this sounds weird but I actually found that it was when my body wanted something - food, drink. And stopped soon after. Before I got the band I was never hungry because I was constantly eating so I figure maybe this is how its suppose to work because now I can truly get hungry.
