My band makes so much noise

[ivyh 96]

Every night when I lay down my band starts making noises and I keep burping. There have been a few times where I wake up chocking. I've talked to my doctor and he said it was because I was still tight. But I keep losing weight and it still hasnt changed. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it, I am about to go crazy with all the noises!

It's not your band making noise, it's the contents of your pouch "draining" to the lower stomach. Just think of pouring Water down a thin funnel pipe, it gurgles...just like your tummy does. It doesn't go away, you learn to live with it as a reminder that your band is doing it's job, slowing the digestion process and holding on to food for you longer.

Don't feel bad my band started making noise during an interview I had last week. I just smile and laughed and told the interview panel "that's my band telling me that I am going a great job!" They laugh and I continue with my interview. You will get use to it.

I dont know....I am no expert for sure. But do you think you might be too tight? My band made noise like that when I was first banded and VERY tight.
