Gurgling



Recommended Posts

So I been banded for almost 2 years (Feb 11) and lately and I would say more since my last fill on Dec 11th, I have been having gurgles more and more when I go to bed. I make sure I don't eat and lay down, and sometimes when I wake up in middle of nite it just starts up and it's sooo loud and annoying it wakes up my bf. I don't know what to do to make it be less and my surgeon told me at last appt it meant it was time for a fill and or I am hungry, but I am not. Any advice?

I still gurgle... it doesn't matter what time of day it is or if had something to eat or drink. It doesn't happen every day but several times a week.

I still have good restriction and I"m not too tight. Sometimes if very loud. I talked to my doctor about this over the years and he said air traveling through the band.

I've gotten used it. For me it's a very small price to pay... it doesn't hurt and it just reminds me what I've accomplished.

I find I gurgle a lot too, mostly when I'm in bed. Sometimes it even wakes me up. :S

I also gurgle. Not a whole lot but I find I gurgle more when I think I may have eaten too much. I've just considered it part of being banded so gurgle away I say.

hello, I have been banded now for 4 years and had a revision a year ago. the new doctor I see is wonderful. the old doc tighten me so much that I got sick. I wasn't getting the nutrition I needed. my new doc told me that if I get gurgling at bedtime the band is too tight. it could actually cause more harm than good. if I was you I would call my doc and have some taken out.

Perhaps you mean your stomach is doing the gurgling which that happens but as Marlana said in the above post that if you are gurgling in the throat area you are too tight. Sometimes during a fill a person will gurgle-that tells the surgeon he needs to take a little out.

      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?

      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.
