What's with all of the sound effects?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on may 10th and I consider the whole ordeal to be a success so far but just wondering if I am the only one who thinks he/ she is having the pod race scene from star wars episode 1 play out in my internals after I ingest anything? Lots of movement, tons of noise but the gas doesn't want to come out? I am considering recording it and trying to get my small intestines a record deal....

Thanks,

Ben

Banded on May 10th in Pensacola Florida by Dr. Jeffrey Lord.

Hi Ben, I got mine on the 10th too and I have the same story so far so I guess it must be normal...

I was banded Feb 23 and I still have those from time to time. Me and my husband just laugh when it goes off. My husband always thinks I am hungry when he hears me all gurgally but I tell him I'm not. I just take it as a reminder of my band and that it is working. :o

LMAO!! i had mine done April 12th,2011. And be prepared, it doesnt go away. it might be good one day and the next sound like a bomb is going off. At our seminars the Vetrans talk about this alot. They just told us to get some gas-x or some other kind of antacid. But i dont think it really helps alot.

I gurgle so loudly other people can hear it. It is especially loud when lying in bed at night.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
