Hey all,

Just double checking if this is normal. Since banding on the 17th, my stomach/disgestive system I guess in general have been some major rumbling. Its kind of like growling, digesting all mixed up which sometimes makes me think I need to eat something, even though my appetite has been all but zero these past days. Sometimes the rumbling produces gas, sometimes it seems stronger where the stomach is. Anyone else experience this?

Tee:lol:

Yup

I get the same thing. I was banded on 19th March. It seems to get better after some Tomato Soup or smooth yogurt. I've kinda worked out that it might be my "new" hunger signal. Try forcing yourself to take a little Soup or similar (maybe some soft custard) and see if it helps

I gurgle all the time. It is the band, I think. Remember, food is going down like Water goes down a partially clogged drain. Think about the sound a partially clogged drain makes. Sound familiar?

I was banded a week ago.....my stomach is always very vocal...and I really don't 'feel' hungry.....so I guess we're just getting reaquainted!

I was banded on 3/20/08 and have those big tummy rumbles too. I asked the Dr about it on my post op visit and he said it was probly caused by being on a full liquid diet. We tend to swallow more air when we drink. Two more weeks of full liquid then can go to a soft diet till week six. Yay!!! :blush:

The same thing is happening to me. I think I am beginning to tell the difference between gas pains and hunger pains. It feels like hunger pains at first and then when the gas passes, I find out that I am not hungry anymore. Very strange :>

      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'. ???

        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!
