I just had my second fill today. I'm now at 6cc's in a 10cc band. When I came home to drink something I started hearing a gurgling sound. Even eating a yogurt I'm making noise. Does anyone else have this?

When I asked the RN she said it was normal and some people make noise when they hit their sweetspot.

Will this last forever?

Hi:

I'm a gurgler too! It only happens about once per day and there doesn't seem to be anything consistent about it.

I'll be interested to hear what others say because I don't think I've heard it mentioned before.

I love my band!

Sue

Too funny -- I gurgled when eating a yogurt a little earlier! I think it just gets backed up on top of the band b/c it's thick, then some air has to come out before it goes down. Still, it was weird!

I gurgle and am NOT at my sweet spot. It's no big deal...noisy, but no big deal! :)

When I get my fill that day I will gurgle. The only problem I have the rest of the time is almost like a hicup. I explain it as a clogged drain pipe and the air is bubbling up. My Dr said to drink Water slowly. But I find this happens everyday and pretty much all day. My nickname at work is sqeaky and I have not hit my sweet spot yet.

Sometimes I gurgle so loud, I am afraid my next door neighbors are going to start knocking on the apartment wall to keep the noise level down. ;-)

I have been gurgling ever since I had my 1st fill in the office. I have not noticed any rhyme or reason to it. The other day I drinking and my husband heard it in the next room. :confused: A little em brassed by the noise, but I still love my band!

My gurgle ended up with me being way too tight. Once I got past the liquid phase after my fill I couldn't eat anything with out getting sick. She took out 1/2cc and I feel great. I little gurgle in th emorning and the rest of the day it's a lot better.

Bearbelly,

Your sweet spot is when you reach perfect restriction

The gurgling is happens when you swallow food or drink and it goes down very slowly. (kind of like the gurgling a drain does when when the last bit of Water goes down)

I gurgle too. Mine feels like it is above the pouch, like the food or drink is backing up a bit going into the pouch. It is really bad right after a fill.

LOL :cursing: I gurgle too! My husband heard it for the first time yesterday. We were eating dinner, and my husband asked me to mute the TV, and then said "do you hear that?" I started laughing and said "yeah its just me!" he thought it was quit funny! I have not hit my sweet spot yet either. I'm sitting at 5 cc's. Hopefully the next one will do the trick!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
