First week drinking questions.

[Renob 1]

Hello All,

I was banded on 8/14/08, the question I have is should you feel every drink you take?

Im on Clear Liquids and I can feel evey drink I take, when I say feel it I mean I can feel it at the band site, its kind of like a full filling, I am able to cuntiune drinking and at times can even hear a little gurgling sound.

Now none of this is causing me any stress or pain I was just wondering if you all experienced these types of things.

Thanks EVERYONE for being here!!!

Yes . . . it is absolutely normal and expected. I can still feel them over six months out when they are hot or cold. This is especially true first thing in the morning.

The sensation gets to be less over time, but never goes away completely. It is never the same as the "early" days unless it is very early or very late in the day.

If I take a sip of Water before bed and lay down immediately after, I can not only feel it, I can hear it gurgling through. My husband always laughs at the lovely sounds I make when I am trying to go to sleep :0)

I agree with Heather, what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

My entire digestive system makes a ton of noise now! gurgling, rumbling etc.
