Does anybody eles's tummy make strange noises? Mine makes crazy sounds after I eat or drink. I was just banded on 02/19/09 maybe my tummy is trying to adjust? It was so bad last night and loud that my husband and son thought it was our little dog growling. Just wondering if it's just me or does anybody elses tummy do that?

Nope....it's not just you. Since I had the surgery, my stomach makes noises too....Never did that before! It's funny!

Yep I am sitting here listening to mine now!

Me too...LOTS of noise.

At your stage it might be gas in your digestive track. As you start to digest, the gas starts rolling around and making noise. I had a lot of that for the first couple months. It would happen a short while after eating.

To give you something to look forward to , Now that I am an further along and have a lot of restriction it is a different kind of noisy. It happens while I am eating or drinking and it is sort of like the sound my kitchen sink makes when I pull the plug and the last bit of Water gurgles down the drain...same concept.

Yep, mine "talks" to me after eating too, especially now that I've had my second fill (a week ago).

It's sort of hilarious because my three-year old will pat my stomach and say, "Tummy?" and I say, "Yep, my tummy." I figure when she gets older she'll know what's going on, but for now she's just getting used to the fact that Mommy's tummy makes weird noises sometimes!

Thanks guys for replying....glad to know it's not just my tummy!!!!

This may sound like a weird question, but if someone could answer it it would really put my mind at ease.

I had a band revision surgery on 2/27 and am feeling a little bit paranoid every step of the way through this... but in any case, here's my question.

When you drink thin liquids (like Water, tea, etc.) about how many seconds before you hear the gurgling sound...meaning it's going through the band? Mine takes about 3-4 seconds and I'm just wondering if that's too long.

Thanks!

ebar822,

3-4 seconds sounds about right.

Ditto actually I listen for it because then I know I still have restriciton LOL!!!:lunch:

My tummy is CRAZY NOISY!! It makes all kinds of noises. The more restriction, the more noise. It can get pretty embarrassing. I also burp A LOT more. That doesn't help. My DH is so funny. Such a comic. Now when the noises start, or I burp, he looks out the blinds like it's coming from outside and pretends to look for tresspassers. LOL

Mine's OK until I lie down - same with DH. We go to bed at night and the symphony starts - sounds like a couple of terriers having a fight in the bedroom, lol.

Who knows why - I can feel it and its past my stomach, in the intestines, so I cant figure how or why banding causes that unless its just that air in your stomach doesnt escape so its all noisier.

Thanks, guys! I think this has all just made me a little paranoid. Every feeling or sound is making me so nervous!
