I am only about a week out from surgery. I have a question for folks further along. How long do the stomach gurgles continue while you are eating or drinking? Every time I take a sip, my stomach gurgles as it settles and I usually need to burp after a few sips. Is that something that continues for the rest of your life or is it something that will go away after a while? If it does go away, do you remember how long it took?

It doesn't bother me when I am home alone (in fact, I appreciate the gurgles because they let me know I am good to take another sip); but, I don't see myself drinking in front of people anytime soon unless they are really good friends. ;)

Three and half years out and I still have them. You (and your spouse) gets used to it.

The gurgling and burping from drinking settled down for me a few weeks out. I still get some rumbling from eating, depending on what I eat. I'm 5 months post-op now.

I'm almost 10 months out and my stomach makes random gurgling noises through out the day. Sometimes its when I'm eating or drinking something. Other times - it just seems to yell out. lol. My husband giggles. I get a little self conscious when we're out or I'm at work, but it is what it is. :)

Mine settled down about a month post op. I burped a lot too and that has gone away too.

I am almost 6 mths out and I am just now noticing that it doesn't gurgle every time I eat. But if I drink a lot on an empty stomach it will make some noise for a while.

My gurgles and bubbles lasted at least 6 months before tapering off. At 1 year, they were almost gone. Now, at 2 years, I have to eat something really tough - like dry chicken breast - to get a gurgle out of Frankensleeve. B)

Mine slowed down tremendously, it happens rarely. Mostly when drinking coffee. The gurgles have been replaced w/burps,

7 months out and Milagro the Mexican Wonder Tummy still loves to make himself known, especially with certain foods.

Gas x strip s helped me. Not many just like one before church or before my follow up appointment. Three weeks out today and all I have is the gurgles after eatin or drinking when its going down. No more belly noises.

I had these weird gurgles before getting sleeved, so I wonder what will happen after. I am glad to hear I am not the only one who has to burp after almost every sip. I hope that goes away soon!

I'm 8 weeks out and my stomach still rumbles with every bite or sip. I also feel like I have to burp all the time. It's super lady like!

      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?
