are these sounds normal?

Had the sleeve done yesterday and was released from the hospital today...the surgeon who did it was not there to release me rather some assistants of his did. But my belly is making gargling noises...is this normal?

    Yes, it's normal. Get used to it. Lol. My students named my stomach chewie (short for chewbaca). It does get better. My stomach really doesn't make any noises now, but I do still have random sounding

  • I'm nine months out and it still happens. I call it whale singing. Usually it happens if I eat the "wrong" food (carbs) but sometimes it's caused by drinking too much at once.

Yep. It will gurgle for a while. Mine still does and I am 2 months out. Congrats to you as well!

Yep, I am 11 weeks out...I still have some burps, strange noises when I eat or drink...and especially so, if I forget and eat/drink too quickly or eat/drink at the same time.

It is your new normal...

Best of luck to you!

Here too! Almost 9 weeks out and had to eat my lunch during a meeting yesterday. Got some strange looks from the people next to me! LOL

Yep. 15 weeks out and I am sitting here listening to my "whale song" now. Gurgles, burps, stuttering plops, whining screeches....I have stopped noticing most of it at this point.

This made me laugh! I was just telling my husband last night that it sounded like I swallowed a whale. It feels like Dory is striking up a conversation in the evenings!
