Am I the only one who kinda likes the gurgling tummy?



Recommended Posts

Every time I sip anything and it hits bottom, my sleeve instantly starts to gurgle and make little bubbly noises. I actually kinda like this because I feel like I am getting "in touch" with my sleeve....like I'm getting to know this new piece of me.

I'm a hippie. I hug trees too. haha

I take prilosec. No clue if it helps but I am scared to stop taking it.

I am not on any PPI's.

My gurgling is not painful. It's not even really uncomfortable other than I may have to stretch out my upper body to allow an air bubble to come up. Most of my stomach was just removed. I expected some kind of weirdness for awhile.

I am on PPIs, have been for a long time. And my sleeve talks to me and people around me. I named her Gurgulina. It does not hurt, just feels sometimes like i have to burp but cant. I take her "chatter" as a sign to slow down a little more :)

Gurgulina - I love it! Your description fits my experience to a T... Lots of gurgles, very few actual burps, taking all the time, only quiets when I have taken a break from sipping (I am day 5 liquids, Jello, melted yogurt only)...

I have that same sound--good I am glad I am not the only one--getting to know my new buddy the sleeve LOL! I get gassy too--and a little constipated, drinking Smooth Move from whole foods and that helped ALOT! I am still sleeping on the recliner/sofa and my right side HURTS!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
