Who else's stomach growls really loud (and I really mean loud) when you get hungry? I hear my stomach growling, which should mean I'm hungry, but I don't always feel hungry when it growls. Anyone else have this?

I do!!! My husband thinks it is hilarious!!! I swear, you could probably hear my stomach 100 miles away and yeah, I'm not always hungry when it happens either.

Mine sounds like Water going down a drain. Generally it doesn't mean I am hungry. The funniest was last week when I had to go for fasting blood tests, it was so loud the phlebotomist could hear it!

The loud growling is driving me a little nuts too. Strangers have stared at me in line at the bank or grocery store when it gets going. It wasn't like that before the band. I'm hungry all of the time it seems, and when it's growling like that I just can't stand it. Drinking during a growl fest just makes it louder somehow.

does this get better as you get more restriction? I have my 2nd fill coming up on 11/5 (every 6 weeks... very conservative practice)

omg, too weird, i experience this all the time---like right now as a matter of fact. I think it has to do with things empting out of our small pouch into the remaing stomach. nothing to worry about, but could be a little embarassing.

I also have the same problems. Its loud. My practice also only does fills every 6 weeks. My next to 2nd fill in next wednesday. I hope it gives me more restriction then I have now.

Haha! Mine does it all the time.

I'm never really hungry now, but my stomach just goes and goes and it's loud enough for people in the cubicles next to mine to hear it when I'm at work.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
