First, congratulations on your weight loss! Second, if your band has slipped you'd know it. Have you spoken to your doctor? I don't know about the noises you're hearing but I would definitely speak to the doctor about it. Gas is normal and it might be how fast or how much you're eating. It could also be the kinds of foods you're eating.

If you've been sick after you've eaten it's probably because you ate too fast. When you say it's hard to tolerate things - has this been happening from the beginning or did it start after your fill? If it's after the fill, that's to be expected. What happens is that you get used to eating a certain amount and then when you have a fill you start realizing that you can't eat as much as you did before.

I wouldn't worry about any of that but I would talk to the doctor about the noises you're hearing. Good luck.

I would probably go on liquid protein for a few days and then re introduce foods..you may be a tad over fill but a little weightloss will help you with that


good luck!
