Stomach sounds like a bathroom/ toilet bowl

[hairloss 0]

I need help

My stomach sounds like a toilet is being flushed/plunged

It's so loud that people at work have asked if I was ok. Sometimes it sounds like a fart and other times it's worse

I don't think it's lap band related because the noise is coming from my lower abdomen (no where near the band)

I work in sales and can't have these noises when i'm with a client (happened today and it was mortifying, I almost died of enbarassment )

Hate to tell you this but, yes it is normal and will probably continue. My stomach talks all the time. I just make jokes about it, "sorry about that, guess my tummy wants in on the convo". Lol

Oh dear...

Maybe have some soft music playing in the background at your office to drown out the sound?

You say it sounds like farts and a toiletbowl? did I read correctly?

Are you eating lots of Beans and other gassy foods?

I have had the same exact issues!! It will rubble so much it physically hurts. I don't feel hungry (I don't think). Before my surgery I never let my self get hungry enough to let my tummy growl. I am thinking my issue is my body is physically hungry but I don't realize it till my tummy goes nuts. If that makes any since? Maybe this is one of those things they tell you about having to re-learn your body?

I work from home Thank God! But My Boyfriend tells me my stomach makes the Loudest noises! Even from drinking Water or hunger pains. It Never sounded so disturbing. Definately Band related!

I was recently on a Skype session with the home office and even THEY could hear my stomach! Yes, I've never had so many loud noises. But I'm getting used to it and everybody knows I've got a lapband so I just blame the band. 'Cause I don't have a dog.

I have to tell my co workers there's not a lion in the office, it's just my stomach! LOL!!

Oh...I have the same problem. It sounds awful and feels weird, but I am getting use to it.

Me too. It's a family joke now. I'm in sales and occasionally have to explain the weird noises but I don't mind.

I'm only 1 week post op and was desperately hoping it would go away soon! So what is the cause of it, just gas?

[oreo4972 20]

Lol...I have the same problem! It's much worse after I drink something (especially something cold) or if I allow myself to get really hungry! I always wondered if it was band related, but now I'm convinced.

[PhatKat1127 55]

Sittin here and I realize I only eat when my stomach growls! But boy does it GROWL loud!
