Hello All.. I was banded 5 weeks ago and had my first fill after Christmas. Since my fill, my stomach has been especially noisey when I drink and sometimes when I eat. It sounds exactly like bad hunger noises. I am not having any other issues that I'm aware of. I admit that I kinda like the sounds. I know that is wierd but it makes me feel that something is working in there..something is churning this fat up..lol. Does anyone else have this noise going on?

Yes i have a noisey stomach and also I have alot of burps. Sometimes they are loud I sound like a guy belching. I agree with you about the sound of the stomach, that things are working.

Another noisy tummy here :). I work in a very quiet office and think people can hear it all of the time, but they probably don't or they would say something, lol.

The noises are all part of the digestive process and I found once I was on solids they settled.

Very normal. Your band will talk to you a lot. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a meeting at work or in line at the store and my band starts talking away and its loud. I get some funny looks from people.

And yes we burp (and fart) like sailors. Lol

The whole conversation cracks me up!! I'm only laughing because its true! I am experiencing every single thing you all are describing my belly sounds like their is a bear in it!! Although at this point I am finding it easier to pass gas than to belch but I never really have had an issue with either of those in the past. My family once voted me the one most likely to ask a stranger to pull my finger haha yep

Thank you all... The thing I love best about this group is learning ahead of time about the reality of what to expect. (16th of this month is my date). As GI Joe said... Knowing is half the battle.

i have a ton of noise! Gurgles, belches, you name it. I am 3 years post op, had to have my gall bladder removed and another fill about 6 mod. ago. The noises really picked up then.

I am going to get back on gas X to try to help quiet it down.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
