Aliasmith...in he beginning your tummy will gurgle, its gonna take time for the internal swelling to go down, and truthfully, our new stomachs can be very noisy long after surgery. Glad you made it through ok, every day will hopefully be a little easier.

I made it back home okay after surgery today..no complicarions just alot of painful gas in my chest . It has gone away now but comes back once in a while. I thknk its still gas. And it does it when I drink tok..my chest tightens and a gurgle comes up..and then its gone..is this.normal?

Normal. I had the same thing. Still do as far as the gurgling. Now when I gurgle or hiccup I know I am full. It starts to calm to down a bit after a few weeks. Walking helped the gas along with gas x. Good luck and welcome to the bench!!

I still gurgle and internal burps at 7 months out. When I get an uncomfortable sensation of fullness coming on (happens quick) I stop eating, then I hiccup twice and know I'm done. It's weird but I am used to it, so great to have this little internal signal. My family laughs at it but know its normal for me.
