I had my band put in almost a month ago and haven't had any fills yet, but whenever I walk after drinking anything, I hear this terrible sloshing sound! Obviously it's coming from my stomach and travelling into my ears, and I can sort of feel liquid going back and forth. Does this last forever? It's not painful but it is distracting. I would expect it if I drank after eating, but even if I drink on an empty stomach I get the sloshing. I thought it would have gone right through the band.

u mean girgaling? like strange sounds that come from the stomach...its like upper pouch is a sink and as it goes through the band it girglles its way down the narrow sink.

i get that all the time.. usualy its from drinking too fast..

if you slow it down see what happens..

nothign to worry about,

Nope, not gurgling. I can actually feel liquid going side to side like the tide in my stomach with every step I take. Doesn't matter how slow I drink and can last a couple of hours.

I'm not particularly worried but, as I said, it is distracting when I'm trying to work and my stomach feels like a boat with a bad keel.

thats odd its funny that you mention that not sure if you have any children but when kids are small since they have very little belly fat you can actually hear the liquid in their bellys sloshing around. Specially after they drink a bottle of milk. Could just be normal from your belly beeing empty and full of Water.< /p>

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
