Question about hunger pains after banding



Recommended Posts

After 3 fills I finally feel restriction although I am VERY hungry. My question is this, when you have a band and your stomach growls is it suposed to be a more pronounced experience. I mean I feel like my stomach is turning! Just wanted to know if this is unusual.

hi imb316

what are you eating? keeping the Protein up (keeps you fuller longer). the movement / sounds may just be digestion. if you are really feeling hunger pains, try upping your Protein even more, but take small bites and chew.

good luck

Mine does it too. I now have these super big, washing machine churning, kind of growls.

Mine is the same way!!! It growls and I think everyone can hear! That's when I usually just drink a big glass of Water and it quiets down.

I thought that because it would slip into the rest of the stomach, drinking Water wouldn't give the feeling of fullness? (Read it somewhere on the site):confused2:

      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?
