Throat Growling - Making Noises @#$%#$

[Looking Ahead 239]

Ok, need some advice. Everytime I eat anything, my throat starts this embarrassing growing noise. I can feel bubbles like feeling coming up from the bottom of my throat and come to the top. I compare it to the sizzling rock candy I use to eat as a kid. It's so embarrassing and uneasy feeling, it makes me not want to eat at all. What gives? I take Prilosec now.

I don't have an answer, I was just sleeved Monday. But I'd like to hear an answer too!

I have the bubbles, but not the growling. It only happens when I have eaten a little too much.

[gustavo52974 369]

I have that a bit too. I feel like it's a slow-motion burp.

[Looking Ahead 239]

Hate it so much !

It is totally normal. I am ten weeks out and everytime I eat it happens. I call it my alien talking because especially if I eat something new it will make all kinds of noises and gurgle sounds. Weird I know but I hope eventually it will go away.

What in the world?? This is troubling. Hopefully a veteran can explain this.

When you have your sleeve with the intact valve at the bottom of the stomach, coupled with the much smaller size of that stomach - pressure builds up and thus the gurgle lol. I was cracking up at my last support group meeting because two sleevers on either side of me had the gurgle going on - then I started in ha-ha.

Sometimes my stomach and/or throat is so loud you can hear it all over the office. It doesn't hurt and there seems to be no stopping it so ... whatever.

It doesn't happen all the time. Non issue for me.

This happens to me. Has since I got my lapband in 2006. Stopped when it came out, started again the day I got sleeved.

If you search the board for "gurgling" you'll see it's very, very common.

I sometimes have to tell people, "I promise I'm not burping, it's just a noise I make" because it sounds like a burp that is on its way, but never actually gets out.

BTW, for me it happened constantly when my sleeve was brand new, but over time seems more linked to time of day and what I eat.

Eating later in the day (which I don't do much because it's more uncomfortable) or eating very dense/tough foods (like jerky) seem to make it happen more.

A choir of singing stomach.

This sound and weird feeling is very awkward, I don't know if the people near to me can hear it, haha.

It happens to me whenever I'm about to reach my limit capacity, so I guess I can say it's kinda helpful, lol.

I totally understand what you're talkin about!! I am pre op but have had that pop rock sound for years. I've never thought about what triggers it but I'm sure it's something. Mine is not very loud though..i can hear it but I don't think others around me can...

So this mostly happens when full or near full?
