I had my surgery at 300 pm yesterday. Doing ok pain wise, except for my new stomach is growling like crazy and it hurts! I haven't been allowed to have any liquids yet. Is this something that fades, once I get to start sipping?

For me, 3 months post-op, the gurgling snd burping are still pretty chronic. No reflex, just air. Yesterday, I explained this to my dr. and he said to eat slower...ok, that I do know is a problem (getting air in stomach between bites) but I wake up at 4 am burping and stomach roaring! By 5-ish I get up to take my Ppi and start my shake or a Greek yogurt-so it's not always from eating too fast. I had this problem Pre-op too, but now it's worse! Good luck - hey if this is the worst of my "side affects", I'll take it! Down a total if 71 pounds since Aug. 11th (48.5 post op- Oct.11)-hoping to make it to 'onederland' by Feb 1st! I haven't weighed under 205 in 20 years!

I never had stomach gurgling noises till after surgery. I still have them at almost six months out. This is your new normal. Congrats on your surgery:)
