Help! Has anyone felt this before? I am almost 4 days out of surgery and I noticed last night that everytime I take a drink (sip) I feel a gurgle and I start feeling gas like pain. Is this normal? I am trying to stay positive but it is getting harder and harder. Any advise would help.

It is very normal. You may have many sensations and noises in your bandster life. At just 4 days post-op you still have swelling and fluids and air pass through the stoma and make noise. Follow your doc's post-op directions. As long as the Fluid is staying down you are fine.

Very normal and if you are lucky it means you have some decent restriction early on. As long as you are getting in your fluids, Protein, and (chewable or liquid) Vitamins you are fine!

Yes, 2 yrs out and I still gurgle. Makes my husband laugh. I didn't start gurgling tho till I was at proper restriction - about 4 mths out. So yours is a good sign! Just sit back, relax, and add words to your tunes!

I get it too, especially first thing in the morning when I have my Breakfast shake.

Pretty Cool, Huh?

Lets me know the band is right where it needs to be and is still tight, doing it's job. I get more concerned when the band does not give me any kind of feedback.

It wouldnt be so bad but it is uncomfortable sometimes and I am sipping slowly. I hope it is just from being swollen because right now it makes it hard to get all my liquids in.

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

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
