I was just band on the 8th of this month. I am having these hunger pains (I think) and my belly is making a punch of nosies. How long does this last? I am hoping this will stop soon. Can someone tell me please.

Welcome to bandster hell. I am almost 3 weeks out and having hunger pains. The first week after is the worst- it slowly gets better. Not till your fills and resrtiction does it get more normal where you really feel full.

That is great news...Thank you. I see you are doing great. I hope I can do the same.

I was banded on 1/05 and I have a whole bunch of strange pains and noises... I don't think mine are hunger pains though. I have struggled with head hunger...I usually drink something and feel better. I am not looking forward to bandster hell. The noises definetly slowed but they come back occasionally...I think it was the gas from surgery leaving.

I will be banded on the 21st of this month, and wondering as I read your tracker of lost weight, YOU have lost 24 pounds in 5 days?? or did I read it incorrectly? NOt sure what to expect first week, but trying to prepare. Thanks for any insight

I've got a lot of the same going on but mine is all GAS. It won't come out no matter how much I walk. They say it will take 5-7 days. I can handle the soreness from the surgery but the gas pains make me feel like I'm having a heart attack. I've used Gas-X but nothing helps. Anyone found a good solution??:cool:

Try a heating pad on your left shoulder. I have always heard a heating pad makes it move out faster.

I never had any gas problems so I can't say whether it works or not.

I don't have the gas pains like that at all. I am sorry you do. I used gas-x and heating pad plus walked. I am still passing gas but I am not hurting. My belly is just making all these nosies. I am glad to see you are back.:tongue2: How are you doing. I am fine. :wub: When do you go back to see Dr. Moran? I need to go on Tuesday at 9. So far I lost about 11 lbs but I don't know where it is at.

It includes my pre-op diet too.

Hello! I was banded on the 6th of January and still have those hunger pains. They suck I know :tongue2: I'm guessing they'll get less and less but it's worse then the gas or incision pain. Hang in there and let me know when yours stop so I know if I am "normal" :wub:

Hunger pains? What's that? I forget what that feels like!!!

(Banded last March)

Haha! You guys crack me up! Mom got her band put in March 11th and she still has crazy noises occur! It's weird, though- hers arent coupled with hunger pangs. They're just... noises letting her know it's time to eat. I dont have the pain, but I have woken up from being so friggin hungry that I drove to Dennys for grits! LOL!

My tummy growls at me a lot but more when I need to eat. I think its gas and my tummy digesting. I call my tummy "the angry cat" because it growls loud and angry like. I walk it out a lot but doesnt always work.

Hey BellaBean, You call your tummy the angry cat, I am calling my the two tigers fighting. I might change the name when they are tamed down.

I was banded 11/21, have had two fills, have 6 cc in a 10 cc band and still have hunger pain and lots of noises. Its a slow process getting back to center.

I was banded in November and I swear the stomach noises were so loud that I expected my next door apartment neighbor to start banging on the wall.

By the time I went to work, two weeks after surgery, the stomach noises were not as loud. By that time, I was on mushies.
