Good restriction...but now I gurgle



Recommended Posts

I had my 2nd fill a week ago and feel like I have really good restriction; however, I am noticing that every time I eat I have this gurgling/burping sound coming from my throat. It's really embarrassing, especially if I'm in a meeting or classroom. Does this have something to do with my fill?

Gurgling is extremely common. I'ev heard different theories on what, exactly, it is - but generally it comes with restriction. Not as a rule though. It does seem to dissipate over time. When I was first pre-op, my co-workers would look at me and think I had burped.

I just had my first fill Mon and I am gurgling like crazy, I was burping like crazy before. I am still on liquids from the fill, and everythihng I drink gurgles. It's really loud too.

Thank goodness it's not just me! I guess I should consider it the sound of good restriction and be happy with it. How long did it take to pass?

You know, I'm not sure. Pretty sure I was still doing it at a year out, but maybe only when something was stuck. Rarely do it anymore.

I also get the funniest noises. Fortunately this has only happened at home (to amuse my teen agers). I hope it passes so I can eat out without turning red :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
