Gurgling noises when I eat and drink



Recommended Posts

Almost everytime I eat and drink strange noises come out of my throat. I think it's my throat. I have to chew everything up to a fine mush in order not to feel like throwing up. But noises still come out. Maybe my band is too tight. What do you think?

i gurgle all the time. mostly while drinking though. it doesnt necessarily mean you are too tight.

if you were too tight, you wouldnt be able to eat or possibly even drink without PB'ing.

just a fact of life that i've learned to deal with.

Thank you so much. That makes me feel better. Thought something was wrong with my band. Although, my husband won't much like it. It makes me sounds like I'm possesed!!! :-)

just started gurgling and now have some pb's on solids..its been a week since my second fill AND I just started my TOM.

This isnt too tight even if I have to stick to softer foods?

This is my favorite subject. I am actually gurgling now drinking my Protein Shake. I have been banded for over a year and it doesnt go away. My friends and family still crack up when I do it. Its just something you have to get used to. I work in customer service so I have to hope one calls when I am drinking something cuz that means I have to hit the mute key real fast or they think im burping...haha.

I have had lots of noises and weird sounds coming from my stomach and throat. I don't think it means you are too tight. It just means you are banded :smile2:

I think the gurgling is a sign that you are tight enough, not too tight. I kind of like it because it proves to me that the food is sitting there before going straight through the band! I waited a long time for restriction and am so happy to finally have it!

I started about a month ago with little tiny burps...all day long. I can just SEE it in my mind's eye....a bubble smaller than the size of a grape....it just bubbles to the surface and I feel it pop up into my throat. If I let myself do it, I could literally do tiny burps about every 20 seconds. Sometimes I forget myself and I let them "pop" and then I rembmer that it IS a burp and people can probably still hear it even though I have my mouth shut. Gotta watch that!:thumbup:

I seem to gurgle 24/7. It is the loudest after I eat or drink something, and is soooo embarrassing!! Someone told me the gurgling could be a symptom that my band has slipped....has anyone else heard this??

According to WLS for Dummies, the gurgling is gas and it's normal. Do you guys think that's true?

I gurgle if I eat yogurt, I think it just goes through the stoma slow, like sludge! Just drink or eat slower, that helped me.

My stomach makes lots of grumbling noises, all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
