Not sure, but if you are worried, call your surgeon's office. I had a slip; it was not like that, but then, I guess that this could be a slip, too! Best wishes. Karen

Dont know bout bout loose bowels but gurgling is due to the flem- I usually have it the mornings, some times I can eat some times I cannot- MY GP said it was my sinus drainage and it takes forever to break up. Hot tea or liquids help- still ask your DR.

Ok thanks , I been reading about slips and I'm a worry wart , when it started gurgling I thought oh no ! I don't know what a slip would feel like? If it hurts or what? And the soon as I could get app to see the doc in nov 30th , but, if gurgling is norm , then I feel ok , thank you , still gurgles and sometimes it feels like , you know when you pregant and the baby kicks u a little in the ribs , that's what it feels like and the gurgles are like tickles kindof , wierd , what does a slip feel like and how did u know it slipped?

Slips are usually found by your surgeon during a flouroscope. I had trouble keeping anything down, including Water. But, a slip can happen anytime, and you might not even know. best wishes, see your surgeon for further advise about the phlem It can be, also, from the digestion activity. Best wishes. Karen

I have had gurgling as well. I figured it was a bug or something. It feels weird. I took some of the anti nausea pills I had left over from surgery and it helped. If it continues, it sure what to do. I am going to bring up with doctor next appt.

        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.

      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
