Help 7 days post op and my stomach is gargling and churning very loud. This is so agonizing and causes so much discomfort. I was wondering If anyone has and suggestions and or tips on what to do and how long it will last.

Hi buttaflyladi

I am 6 days post op and also get the "gurgles". I notice this is when I put a lot of liquid in to quickly. I read on another forum that this is a part of the digestion process and will get better. Crossing my fingers is does! Especially since I am back at work tomorrow.

best of luck to you!

Did your doc give you any meds to take? I'm taking something called Protonix that is supposed to help w gas and tummy juices. I guess we don't make the same amount of digestive juices now that it is smaller. (Sleeved 12/30 and it has gone away for me).

It gets better. I am a month out and my tummy no longer sounds like a dinosaur fight.
