Gurgling 2 weeks post op?

[ebar822 0]

Just want to make sure this is normal because I can't seem to get a grip on normalcy right now! lol...

When drinking thin liquids like Water, tea, or broth, I swallow and then about 3-4 seconds later I hear a gurgling sound which tells me it is passing through the band. I know the gurgling sound is normal, but I am concerned about how long it's taking.

Is that taking too long, or is that normal?

Saw that you had band revision surgery in Feb, why is that?

Sorry cant answer your ???, have not been banded yet!

I have heard gurgling (and I am 3 days shy of two weeks post-op) but I mine is just because I am so darn hungry yesterday and today :-)

I had band revision because my band slipped. I really never vomited much, so my surgeon thinks it may just be because I lost 100 pounds in a little over a year, that maybe the fat layer between my stomach and the band became thinner and caused a slip. But also in January I did come down with a stomach virus for 2 days so I am sure that had something to do with it as well.

Anyway, back on track, just hoping things are normal now.

tlhamilton - how long does the gurgling take? like if you take a drink how many seconds before you hear it? mine is like 3-4 and i'm not sure if that's too long

I am 4 months out and still gurgling..in fact my hubby asked if I was ok last night. Be prepared to gurgly and burpy. Luckily, I have trouble acting like a lady most of the time, so it all fits right in. haha

ebar...it pretty much stops after I eat or drink something, so just a few seconds.
