What the heck is wrong with my stomach!!! It is making these awful noises and then these awful pains follow.... Please tell me this is normal and will stop. I am only 4 days post op and I know that everything is transitioning but it is awful and I need some advice or reinsurance.... all the gargling and pain also reminds me of hunger pains and I am TERRIFIED that is what this is! I was told the constant hunger would stop. I know if has mentally because most foods make me gag when I look at them or smell them.. Please help me!!

I'm 6 days post op and I had lots of pain, and gurgling/noises from my stomach area. I have been walking as much as tolerable. Noises went away by the next day… Keep taking your pain meds, from what I've read on this forum, week 2 is much better. Hang in there!

forgot to add that I had what you are feeling on day 4.

I am 3 weeks out.......I know what you are meaning.....sounds like gas pains....or you are drinking to much water maybe....but for me walking or rocking in a rocking chair helped.....hope this helps....good luck. It will get better. Just hang in there. And look ahead and know it's worth it.....God Bless!

It's definitely gas...I had it real bad. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and doing just fine now,

my Doctor prescribed Gas-x strips and To take 2-3 every few hours. And then started Pepcid AC 2x a day after first week. My doctor pre-surgery told me they have to pump my stomach and insides full of gas to help them navigate the laroscopic instruments to do the surgery. So, be prepared for loads of gas. I had both gastric sleeve and hiatal hernia repair.

I'm 6 days post-op and had the same. The gurgling noises will stop in a day or two. Keep taking pain meds. They prescribe them for a reason. Hang in there!

It's definitely not getting to much water I have not been drinking anything close to 64 ounces. I'm in so much pain I just stop and can't go on. I am worried about not getting fluids and being dehydrated on top of all the other awfulness. So I am going to see my doctor tomorrow.
