Sonoragal 0 Posted January 30, 2008 I'm from California and I had the lap band procedure in July, 2005, by Dr. Felix in Fresno. I have maintained a weight loss of 70 pounds. I was a size 20/22, and now I am a size 8 or 10. Best decision I ever made. Lately, I have been having this "growling" sound in my esphogas area, especially when I lay down. I is constant, like every 10 seconds or so. I lay on my back, elevated, and that helps, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and what helped. Thanks.
