Gurgling Stomach



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on Wednesday. I have a 10cc band that had 2cc put in at the time of my surgery, and I had another 2cc put in on Wednesday and now my tummy is making the craziest noises.

One of my daughters put her head on my stomach and had to take it off cause she said "it's making really loud weird noises Mum". Is it normal for it to make such loud noises after a fill?? Thanks for any replies - Rastis

I have had 2 fills so far, and with both fills my stomach has gurgled. Its from the inflammation around the band and from the restriction.

Are you having any problems drinking liquids? Does the noises happen all the time or just after trying to drink or eat? If you are having problems drinking, or wake up at night coughing, or feel really tight all the time, then its possible you have too much restriction.

Give it another day or so, and see if it gets better. If it doesnt, call your doctor, you may need an unfill.

Thanks Kim - it girgles all the time, but I have no difficulty in eating and drinking, but it definately gets louder and more frequent after something enters my stomach - Cheers Rastis

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
