Growling stomach!

[maryrose 2]

I'm about 7 weeks out. I can't believe how much my stomach growls.

Anyone else with this problem?

Mine doesn't growl, but it makes a gurgling noise from time to time. I named my band BOB...."big ol' band" and everytime it starts gurgling where other people can hear it....I say "Oh Bob shut up and mind your own business!" It gets a giggle out of my husband every time!

Mine growls....and growls loudly......I was so afraid that it would start growling really loud in church...that would have been so embarrassing...

Mine growls when I'm really hungry, or when I need to drink more Water. I always try the water first, then if it still growls, I feed it!

YUP! My band talks all the time. I was embarrassed at first, but it's growing on me. My 2 year old thinks it's hilarious!

I am just sly of 2 weeks post-op and am already growling!!! I just laugh sometimes because it is so loud. At first I was worried but I realized they said once you heal you will be hungry until your first fill. I do the same as Iluvharleys - drink Water first and if it still is growling after 30 mins I eat a little something. I sure hope this gets better!

Thanks you all so much for your replies!

Sorry it took so long for my response....the board has been so slow. Not sure if it's my computer or not.

I made sure I ate something before my dentist appt. this morning...it sure happens at the strangest times!

The growling for me did end up stopping.

I was always confused. I always wondered if it was my big stomach or my little stomach?

I was banded two days ago and the gurgling/growling is so loud. I have started to talk to it like the Seinfeld episode when his girl friends stomach growls and he says Heelllooooo! It just makes me laugh every time. I do need to name it.....what a good idea.

P.S. Edie I have been following your progress and you look great, what and inspiration for us newbies!

Yes, it definitely growls and make funny noises, particularly each time after I have a fill (had six fills during these 2 years since I've been banded) I think it has something to do with the stomach adapting itself to its new reality of living with the band around it. Drinking Water usually takes care of it.

Mine doesnt do it when I'm upright and moving around, but the minute I lie down in bed at night it starts up, really loud and really funny. DH and I often lie there having hysterics.

I named mine The Beast. It lets loose about every 3-4 hours daily. Then I throw it a "bone" and it shuts up for a while. It used to be extremely loud, the firwt month post-surgery, but it's quieting down now. Actually, I really rather enjoy it. It reminds me that things are working...
