I know with RNY their stomachs make some pretty strange noises and they can have some really offensive smells coming out of them. Is this true for VSG too?

No smells but I do have a gurgly, rumbly tummy at times! Totally worth it. It can play a Brahms lullaby for all I care as long as I continue to lose weight!!

No smells....

Remember that for the most part our digestive process is NOT changing. Part of the reason RNY folks struggle with gas issues is that they lose a tract of intestine where a lot of absorption and digestion takes place. Without that track food matter moves along undigested causing gas issues.

No smells but a SUPER talkative Tummy since surgery!!!

Same as everyone else...NO SMELLS...but I do burp a lot!! SO SO SO WORTH it!!! It's just a little gas and it will pass!! LOL

No smells but my tummy likes to talk.

My gas post-op is no different than the gas I experienced pre-VSG. My stomach also never makes funky noises, and I don't really recall it making horrible, embarrassing noises either. It's been nearly 2 years so it's kind of hard to remember if my stomach made noises the first few weeks. I can tell you that any gas I experience now is directly related to the type of foods I eat. Broccoli is still a gassy food for me. If I carb load during a meal, I get gassy, but it's no more foul smelling than it was before VSG.

This may be weird but I think my gas smells way better than it did before surgery lol. Idk if it's because of the change in foods that I eat or what. I burp alot as well. I had hiccups for the first time surgery a couple weeks ago and that was weird and hurt.

The 'burping' and the stomach 'rumbles' are completely normal. They are part of the adaptation the body is going through after the surgery.
