I have a gurgle, and somewhat of a croaking sound at night, (starting yesterday) I got a fill yesterday, left with no problems, none at all. Drank some Soup, drank some coffee when I got home, very little, holy wow I can feel the restriction. 4 bites of soup and I'm totally satisfied. Strange thing is I do not feel like I need to vomit, this is not a slimiing situation as I've felt that in the past but my mouth just waters more, significantly more??? And had some of the gurgles but I've read that's ok, I also sounded somewhat like a toad while lying in bed last night, although no choking or trouble breathing or any of that stuff. I don't feel the need to be sick, nothing feels stuck. Could this be because they checked my Fluid taking it all out and then putting it back in and I'm just sensitive. I'm hoping we have finally found my sweet spot! Is this normal when you find good restriction???? :)

That gurgling stinks! It's socially awkward- just talking with someone in person or on the phone, and suddenly, deep body gurgle sounds (gas) piping its' way loudly up your throat & out your mouth.

In a way, it mirrors poor upbringing- bad manners- like your parents didn't teach you to control your unpleasant body sounds, unlike tummy rumbles (hunger) which are uncontrollable.

I remember I dated a guy a long time ago and he had that gurgling when he talked (DEF. not a wls patient). It was one of the reasons I couldn't bear being with him any longer, esp. in public.

Now I do it, and for me, it's embarrassing. I wish it would stop or I could learn how to control it without the gurgles popping out unexpectedly at the most inappropriate times.

I have had the gurgle from day one. I have basically just gotten used to it. Sometimes it does happen and cause a little embarrassment, but I figured it was just apart of it. I even started taking pro-biotics but it still doesn't seem to help. So, I accepted it for what it is.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
