Gurgling and burpy gas when lying down



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been banded almost 18 months. I think I'm in my green zone and pretty tight now. I feel all is working well but I've noticed now when I go to bed (many hours after dinner) I gurgle and have burpy gas for quite a while (maybe hour.. Haven't really timed it) which keeps me up. It's not painful but I worry it can lead to slippage or if only happens if too tight. Only happens when I'm laying down and kind of weird to me as I would think food is well past my stomach by then (could see if right after meal). Anyone have insight or experience this or if normal? Thanks

Unfortunately I have not experienced what you are going through. Maybe giving a call to your doctor's office may help. Hope you feel better.

I'm in my 8th year of being banded. I still get the gurgles... I never know when they are going to happen. It can be hours after I eat or anytime during the day. It's usually very loud. I'm not tight. My doctor said this is normal for some people and not to be concerned. For me it's just my band talking to me saying "Hey... I"m working".

As long as there is no pain I'm not concerned.

Thanks for reply. I asked him to do flora to look at it. I was very tight (as I expected ) and the drink went down really slow. He said above band looked agitated so took .5 cc out and prescribed antacid but it stopped that night so haven't taken any med. Now though I don't eat too much but getting hungrier quickly so worried. I'll give it a few weeks but if gain will go back and ask him to put .1 or .2 back.
