I am sitting here, trying to slowly eat my Jello after swallowing Soup waaaayyy too fast. I finally feel up to more liquids since I kinda skipped lunch. I'm all calm, doggie laying her head on me. All of a sudden, she pops her head up and just stares at my stomach. I have been having air bubble coming from my stomach as I slowly eat some liquids. They are making her head vibrate and she doesn't like it. The worst part, for her? She can hear them too. I think it is the funniest thing ever. She is starting to stop laying her head on my stomach adn more on my legs.

Has anyone else had this problem with almost non stop bubble while eating anything? Or drinking?

Hi that's so funny! I'm 13 weeks out and my stomach growles like crazy. Im not sure what calms it down but this has been happening every since I came home from the hospital. I assuming it can be gas bubbles or something. I'm sorry I can't be of much help, just know you're not alone. Good luck!

My bubbles all wanted to come out as belches for the first 3 months; now it has calmed down quite a bit. I still get the growlies with certain foods and with my calcium citrate liquid. My dogs look at me funny, too.

I am so glad you posted this because my stomach makes the loudest sounds, too. I am only a week out, but every time I drink something, the noises are terrible. It is not a hunger growl, but something quite different. I guess we are all in the same boat.

Same here. My tummy makes strange gurgling sounds everytime I eat. I am 6 weeks out from surgery and had been told it gets better but not for me so far! It was so bad on Sunday morning that I had to get up and leave the church service. The woman in front of me turned around and looked at me every time my stomach made a noise. I finally gave up and walked out! Too funny.

For about the first month or so I could NOT lay on my left side in bed, my stomach would just make the most horrible nosies constantly. Long drawn out blurping and moaning sounds. The first time my wife and I got amorous post-op it sort of ruined the mood for a few minutes as we both busted out laughing because of all the comical noises. :lol:

I'm almost 9 months out and my tummy still makes crazzzzy noises. I have an appointment next Friday and I'm going to ask about this. I hope it's not a bad thing, this late out.

Count me in! I am 4 days post op and only sip liquids from a teaspoon. It is hard to believe that such a little bit of Fluid can make my tummy sound like something is about to erupt! :lol:

My Dr prescribed Nexium for me since my surgery, on the days I forget my tummy growls, if I remember to take it I seem to do much better controlling the growlies. My Dr says it is the digestive juices.

It is not so much my stomach that does it, but my throat! Soon as i eat or drink anything it gurgles and sounds like a kitchen sink trying to drain.

It is so annoying!

I am on 17 days out, but Will it ever stop?

Kelly,

exactly. I get it in the tummy as well as the throat. It tickle but is annoying. I wonder if it will go away when i go to more solids.

I take a pill for stomach acids, it doesn't do very much, but rid me of pain when I wake up and before dinner.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
