I am having gurling sounds coming from my throat and stomach after . I recently was banded in May 2007. I have had two fills since then. My band can hold a total of 4cc's currently I have 2 cc's. What is that noise it is quite embarassing and loud? Has anyone else experienced this?:help:

I dont have the gurgling in my throat, but I sure do in my stomach!!!! And you're right...it is LOUD. It isnt hunger sounds....it's really gurgling!!!! VERY embarrassing.

I gurgle a LOT. In a few different ways. There is my band gurgle, which is around the band area. Usually happens when I'm eating or stuck. Then there's the burp gurgle, which is in my throat and sounds very much like a burp, only I'm not burping, it's just a noise I'm mkaing in my throat. Pre-op I would get this if I drank quickly/chugged, but now I get it all the time, and regardless of what I'm doing. I also have a similar gurgle that's like a 2 stage burp. Hard to explain.

I experience the same thing and I try to eat long before a meeting. You so right... it is loud and embrassing.

What is really embarrassing is to get a bunch of bandsters with good restriction in a restaurant EATING. I swear people can hear us 3 tables over.

I gurgle, burp, and hiccup all the time.

I have normal rumbling from 'hunger', throughout the day at work.

When I drink, I have a 'squish squish' and gurgle that lasts for a while.

And then I burp almost anytime something goes in me!

Laura...

Sounds like you are swallowing too much air.

How do I not do that? :guess

I'm waiting to hear your words of wisdom before I shut down and go to bed!

It's not really something you can explain, instead it is something you have to watch yourself doing. Kinda like using a straw. You WILL get air in your mouth using a straw but it's your choice to let it out before you swallow or not. Same thing applies to food. You just have to be ultra aware of what you are swallowing and get the air out first.

I have the gurgles all the time too!and it drives my daughter CRAZY..she's always like MOMMA STOP IT!!LOL

I gurgle, i burp, i fart, gotta love this band. lol Donna

What????? My poor students.... I'll sit far away from them...

Thank goodness they're adults.
