Gurgling stomach still throws me for a loop..sometimes



Recommended Posts

So fellow vets do you ever catch yourself analyzing your stomach gurgles? Out of no where my stomach will gurgle and I start to think about when was the last time I ate and then I start asking myself if it is a sign of hunger or just typical band noise. :P

I've pretty much resigned myself to think that gurgling is just old food working it's way down the line it has nothing to do with whether I actually need to replace that food yet.

Sometimes it gurgles as I eat. Maybe it's saying - thanks , about time.

I still gurgle after 7 years... I never know when it's going to happen. I've had it happen at various times of the day and night.... sometimes it's VERY loud. For me it's just my band telling me "Hey... I"m here and I'm working".

Don't laugh (ok I know people you will laugh) but a few years ago I recored my gurgling using the mic. on my webcam and when I played in back it sound like an earthquake... and yes I have a lot of spare time on my hands !!!

I'm going into my 8th year of being a bandster... and just yesterday while having coffee with a friend my band started "taking" to me. I wasn't hungry... it last for about 3 minutes.

My band can gurgle at any time... and it's VERY loud. I've mentioned it to my doctor and he said that it is nothing to worry about that it could be air.,. and it very common. It's does hurt. For me it's just a reminder that my band is still doing it's job.

Now... if it stops gurgling I might start to worry :)

My grand children just laugh when they hear the sounds coming out. They refer to the sound as an Alien.

I guess I will be OK as long as I don't start trying to have a conversation.

Tom since you have it recorded you could make it your rIng tone on your cell phone.

      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.
