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!

Sue

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.

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.

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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
