Hello all. I am just about to hit my 5 week post op and I have a crazy question. My stomach seems to spend all its concentration on trying to be louder than the kids. It seems to have doubled up on its efforts to embarrass me as often as possible. The noises are so loud and so often that EVERYONE hears them. When I am in the office at work, it seems to go into overdrive. People have even heard it over the phone!!!

I was wondering if everyone has this issue and if so, when does it start to subside? Is there anything I can do to calm the beast?

Thanks!!!

Wow, sorry I can't help you with that issue. I hope it gets over being angry at you.

my belly makes some crazy noises too! sometimes when im in bed and it starts up the cats look at me like, uh mom... are you ok??? haha i just laugh it off but i can see how it would be embarrassing in public! i dont have a solution for this, but im sure someone on here can help! good luck!

Are you taking acid reducers?

I am going back to work tomorrow and my throat makes the LOUDEST noises any time I drink anything. It's embarrassing. I am afraid that it's going to happen in a meeting.......Does this go away? Did anyone else have this problem? I had a hiatal hernia repaired so I'm wondering if maybe that has something to do with it.....

My stomach rumbles to the point that my wife asks if that was thunder. :thumbup1: 6 weeks post op will be Tuesday.

My stomach made noised ALL the time when I had the band, but haven't had that problem with my sleeve. It was embarassing at times and loud as well.

You were sleeved on my birthday, one week before me!

Wow, thats crazy. . . i can't relate because all my noises have rather become petite and i'm so much more of a lady now. . . even my burps are dainty, i love it. . .

LOL...my doctor says it is all normal and that it is my body's reaction to everything being moved around so much during surgery. Normal or not, it is embarrassing as heck! Seems worse when I am drinking more and sitting a lot, which of course I have to do at work. I just keep rubbing my tummy and trying not to be too red-faced. I am told that this, like all things, will pass eventually too.

Ok, my stomach seems like there's an orchestra in there! I am about 3 weeks post op and in my "mushi" stage and so this morning I ate some egg beaters, well now it's going all crazy and noisy! I don't feel sick or anything, it's just annoying!!! aghhhh!!! Anyone else have something similar?

Thanks!

My tummy isn't noisy but is certainly gurgling at times! So far it is when I have introduced a new food.

The burping is most annoying to me : ) I was at my first business lunch yesterday. Fortunately it was all close co-workers and they know about the surgery. I kept a napkin handy to cover the burps but I was afraid they might be worried that I was going to be sick! LOL

Well I am going to say it...tmi but burping was not the only thing that surprised me AND my husband. I never did that in front of him but just could not help it. He would say Babe..... I said WHAT, can't help it. Dr. Aceves gave me high five in the hospital so must be doing something right. It thankfully has gotten back to normal, 3 months out and I can act like a lady again.:drool5:
