I had my band put in almost a month ago and haven't had any fills yet, but whenever I walk after drinking anything, I hear this terrible sloshing sound! Obviously it's coming from my stomach and travelling into my ears, and I can sort of feel liquid going back and forth. Does this last forever? It's not painful but it is distracting. I would expect it if I drank after eating, but even if I drink on an empty stomach I get the sloshing. I thought it would have gone right through the band.

u mean girgaling? like strange sounds that come from the stomach...its like upper pouch is a sink and as it goes through the band it girglles its way down the narrow sink.

i get that all the time.. usualy its from drinking too fast..

if you slow it down see what happens..

nothign to worry about,

Nope, not gurgling. I can actually feel liquid going side to side like the tide in my stomach with every step I take. Doesn't matter how slow I drink and can last a couple of hours.

I'm not particularly worried but, as I said, it is distracting when I'm trying to work and my stomach feels like a boat with a bad keel.

thats odd its funny that you mention that not sure if you have any children but when kids are small since they have very little belly fat you can actually hear the liquid in their bellys sloshing around. Specially after they drink a bottle of milk. Could just be normal from your belly beeing empty and full of Water.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
