TracyNYC 4 Posted November 3, 2010 Since my un-fill last month, I notice that whenever I eat or drink I have a gurgling sound in my chest/band area. I assume this where the band is doing its thing. Does anyone else have this? People swear they don't hear it, but I was in a workshop yesterday and it sounded so loud to me...It almost sounds like I am burping inside.

redone 0 Posted November 3, 2010 Yes I do the same thing. Mostly after I eat I can hear and feel the food moving down into my stomache. HAHA My kids think it's funny. I've learned to ignore it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I only have the gurgling noises when I'm too tight. I recently had 2 small unfills and all my bizarre noises have gone away. I seem to be just the opposite of what you are describing, since this just started for you after your unfill. Could you still be a little tight? I know I was thrilled when my strange nosies stopped. I always felt like an alien creature was living in my stomach! Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyNYC 4 Posted November 3, 2010 They unfilled me b/c I was having reflux. I did not have the noises before that. I am annoyed b/c I was losing really well too. I have been on all types of meds/steroids since the unfill and have been eating horribly. I go today and am afraid to mention the gurgling..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DIRKT32 1 Posted November 3, 2010 It's a sign of restriction.My doctor didn't liked it a lot but as long i am careful with my band he thinks it is ok.I dont have it everyday,but experience has showed me that the days i can hear it are the days i must be extra careful.I chew a lot and i never never drink 30 minutes before and after.I have to admit it's kind of fun to feel it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paigey 7 Posted November 3, 2010 I have it all the time, but I don't know exactly what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyNYC 4 Posted November 3, 2010 Just came from doc. As soon as I mentioned the gurgling the PA gave me a prescription for an Upper GI series. Could just be too tight or could mean slippage. UGH My principal is gonna love this if I need revision surgery. He is suck a a$$hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrenBird 11 Posted November 3, 2010 If I have a little gas and am eating something, the food goes down through the band and air comes out at the top when the food is down, making a funny noise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
