Stomach growl after surgery?

[Deedle Dee 0]

I was wondering if your stomach still growls after the VSG. I currently have the band and my stomach growls so loud, it's embarrassing! (Especially in church!) Does that still happen post surgery?

My stomach doesn't growl, or rumble. I had the same issue with the band, but have not experienced it with the sleeve.

I'm sure everyone is different but in my case it doesnt growl but makes noises, usually not load at all. If I havent eaten in awhile, I get a empty, lightheaded feeling-thats when I know its time to eat.

I was told its more your intestines making the noises.... Mine was so loud I thought it was trying to have a conversation with someone in the next room! LOL

Mine grumbles quite loudly before and after food - usually when I am in a quiet waiting room or sat talking to someone etc. My friend can hear it rumbling over the phone when I'm drinking my coffee and talking to her! I can also get very loud and sudden hiccuping type noises which I can't control, even in public! But I'm used to it now and not particularly bothered what people think!

I had the same problem with the band, but not at all with the sleeve. My embarassing problem is when I have reached my limit on food intake, I start making really loud, obnoxious hiccoughing sounds. Quite entertaining when dining out!

Mine makes little grumbling sounds its more things moving around in there then hungry growels though

It's been 3 years since I had my surgery and my stomach still makes lots of noises. I try not to eat before I am going anywhere where it can be potentially embarssing but it doest seem to matter if I've eaten or not because my stomach has a mind of it's own.

I was sleeved Dec 1st. The first few days it was very noisy but that is because of the disruptions because of surgerys. After a few days, it has settled down. I only here it now is when I eat to quickly or introducing new foods back into my diet.

Hey,

mine grumbles and growls during and immediately after food... not before... no idea why and it started at around 4mths post sleeve, which is a month ago ( now 5 mths out)

Does anyone know why it does this?

I don't know WHY, but I'm glad to know mine isn't the only one that does it. I'm exactly like you....my new little tummy grumbles and make noises during eating some and AFTER....never before! What is weird is this usually only happens after dinner, seldom at Breakfast or even lunch. It's like, "oh no, not food again!!"
