I just had my second fill today. I'm now at 6cc's in a 10cc band. When I came home to drink something I started hearing a gurgling sound. Even eating a yogurt I'm making noise. Does anyone else have this?

When I asked the RN she said it was normal and some people make noise when they hit their sweetspot.

Will this last forever?

Hi:

I'm a gurgler too! It only happens about once per day and there doesn't seem to be anything consistent about it.

I'll be interested to hear what others say because I don't think I've heard it mentioned before.

I love my band!

Too funny -- I gurgled when eating a yogurt a little earlier! I think it just gets backed up on top of the band b/c it's thick, then some air has to come out before it goes down. Still, it was weird!

I gurgle and am NOT at my sweet spot. It's no big deal...noisy, but no big deal!

When I get my fill that day I will gurgle. The only problem I have the rest of the time is almost like a hicup. I explain it as a clogged drain pipe and the air is bubbling up. My Dr said to drink water slowly. But I find this happens everyday and pretty much all day. My nickname at work is sqeaky and I have not hit my sweet spot yet.

It is quite normal. DH laughs at me... he loves the 'noises' I make.

what the heck is your sweet spot and is it like your stomach growling?

Sometimes I gurgle so loud, I am afraid my next door neighbors are going to start knocking on the apartment wall to keep the noise level down.

I have been gurgling ever since I had my 1st fill in the office. I have not noticed any rhyme or reason to it. The other day I drinking and my husband heard it in the next room. :confused: A little em brassed by the noise, but I still love my band!

My gurgle ended up with me being way too tight. Once I got past the liquid phase after my fill I couldn't eat anything with out getting sick. She took out 1/2cc and I feel great. I little gurgle in th emorning and the rest of the day it's a lot better.

I'm a gurgler too. And no sweet spot here yet!

Bearbelly,

Your sweet spot is when you reach perfect restriction

The gurgling is happens when you swallow food or drink and it goes down very slowly. (kind of like the gurgling a drain does when when the last bit of water goes down)

I gurgle too. Mine feels like it is above the pouch, like the food or drink is backing up a bit going into the pouch. It is really bad right after a fill.

LOL :cursing: I gurgle too! My husband heard it for the first time yesterday. We were eating dinner, and my husband asked me to mute the TV, and then said "do you hear that?" I started laughing and said "yeah its just me!" he thought it was quit funny! I have not hit my sweet spot yet either. I'm sitting at 5 cc's. Hopefully the next one will do the trick!

Thank you Jodi,

I start my 2 week liquid diet next week and getting nervous.

It is hard but just take it one day at a time and you'll make it through. Good Luck!!!

My doctor actually listens for the gurgle when he is doing the fill. It's a sign of some restriction and let's him know when to stop.
