Okay, I am 22 no out, in maintenance, and my stomach is SOO LOUD now with gurgling sounds etc that it is embarrassing at times. Today I went to have a massage and OMG, I know the lady thought I was nuts! Last night laying in the bed my husband said , " What is that NOISE?!!!!". Lol. Anybody else experience this. Seems mine has gotten louder as time goes on

I'm 2 weeks out and have a terribly loud stomach now.

I get the gurgling, both in my stomach and in my esophagus. I had the esophagus gurgle with my band but the stomach gurgle is new. I also get "whining" - not sure how else to describe it. And typical digestion sounds but on a greatly amplified scale. Apparently it woke my husband up last night. :wacko: I sure hope it doesn't get louder!

I was sleeved on 1/23/2012, my stomach has been noisy from the start. It's my gremlin, in my tummy, growling, LOL.

It's odd that yours just now became that way, after 22 months. Are you eating differently or new foods?

I can see how it could be embarrassing in certain situations. Check with your doc, but sounds normal as long as no pain or other symptoms.

My hubby has nicknamed it a "BART". Belly+ Fart= BART. I am a year and 4 months out and I still have those loud noises! I am waiting for the alien to pop out!

This post made me laugh right out loud. I was sleeved on Dec. 28th and had noticed that there are times that my tummy was loud and made noises resembling the birth of an alien being coming out through my flesh. What made me laugh was that just last night I was laying awake in bed in the middle of the night because it was warm, my cat was sleeping at the foot of the bed in a snoring state. My tummy made a very loud and long growling sound that woke her up and scared her off the bed, she sat up a moment, looked around and ran under the bed. I laughed about this all day and shared the story with my co-workers. I am happy to live with the unusual sounds as my life is already healthier and happier and can only continue to get better. Thanks for sharing...

Terrilynndrew, that cracked me up! The soundtrack! As I lay here listening to the gentle rumbling And tumbling of my VSG. It's sorta like listening to my own "noise" machine! Lol.

Sleeve4, how long since u were sleeved? I think we are close together.

Lol, mine is soooooo loud and it embarrasses me at the worst times. We nicknamed my little beast the "angry chihuahua" because it sounds like it's always growling (and it's small now!)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
