ok my belly is making noises like crazy. girgling/rumbling like i'm hungry or i have gas but i'm not hungry. my mind is though. i finally understand the difference. i'm sure its normal but just curious what you all have experienced when you were in your early stages of banding. kind of feels full, but not sure if thats pain/gas/ or hunger.?????:confused2:

I was just banded 2 weeks ago today and people keep asking me if I am hungry and I still say "I'm not sure?" I think my brain needed as much surgery as my stomach! But I am always rumbling and grumbling I don't know why.

I think this is normal. I was banded on 1/28 and a couple days later, my belly started sounding like the L.A. Harbor. I figured it was my insides waking up. It wasn't painful, but just uncomfortable. I also think that your stomach is probably now noticing that it doesn't have much in it, and is letting you know accordingly.

I know you've probably heard this a ton of times, but walking around helped. I found that after walking for about ten minutes, things seemed to calm down. I am a true believer in the power of a ten minute walk -- it has helped me enormously.

Take care!

I was just banded on 2/4. Lots of rumbling but I am sure it is the gas. Not even a little hungry. Off most of my meds. Yeah!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
