ok my belly is making noises like crazy. girgling/rumbling like i'm hungry or i have gas but i'm not hungry. my mind is though. i finally understand the difference. i'm sure its normal but just curious what you all have experienced when you were in your early stages of banding. kind of feels full, but not sure if thats pain/gas/ or hunger.?????:confused2:

I was just banded 2 weeks ago today and people keep asking me if I am hungry and I still say "I'm not sure?" I think my brain needed as much surgery as my stomach! But I am always rumbling and grumbling I don't know why.

I think this is normal. I was banded on 1/28 and a couple days later, my belly started sounding like the L.A. Harbor. I figured it was my insides waking up. It wasn't painful, but just uncomfortable. I also think that your stomach is probably now noticing that it doesn't have much in it, and is letting you know accordingly.

I know you've probably heard this a ton of times, but walking around helped. I found that after walking for about ten minutes, things seemed to calm down. I am a true believer in the power of a ten minute walk -- it has helped me enormously.

Take care!

I was just banded on 2/4. Lots of rumbling but I am sure it is the gas. Not even a little hungry. Off most of my meds. Yeah!!!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
