Constant Stomach Gurgle - Gas or Something Else?



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

This is probably a stupid question- I'm not very good at body function stuff!!

Since Friday I've had a consistent stomach gurgle that feels like my stomach grumbling like it would before when I'm hungry.

It's the worst from 6-8pm at night and moderate in the morning.

Is this gas that will go away or is it the new way my band and stomach processes Water and food?

Can't wait to get a response, I too have experienced the same thing. I was banded 12/19/12.

It's normal, my stomach sounded like a thunderstorm a for a few days post op! It started while I was on mushies. Made my little brother giggle. I think it is some gas and some of your body getting used to food again. It will eventually go away. Good luck.

Unfortunately being banded this is a normal thing. All digestion is different now and your stomach will sometimes embarass you. I have said excuse me more since being banded then any other time in my life lol

I was wondering the same thing. I was banded on Friday and yesterday my stomach started producing all these weird noises. It's hard to tell of it's gas, hunger growls, or just plain stomach gurgling. I'm sure the further along we get in the healing process the easier it will get to distinguish the difference. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all for your input!

Down the road, when your stomach gurgles is it uncomfortable like pressure and release of pressure, or does it just make weird noises?

Thank yoU!

I have whole conversations with my tummy and intestinal track now. It is perfectly normal and eventually you even begin to understand what it is telling you! LOL

I had my very 1st experience with this in church, of all places. When it is real quiet, it seems like tummies want to speak!!!Best wishes, it gets better, but sometimes it still speaks loudly!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
