Stomach noise

So I am almost 8 wks post surgery, and I can not figure out what is the deal with the noises that come from my belly. They are the worst while eating or drinking thing. Most of the time it sounds like hungry pain like before my surgery but when I hear them, I am generally just eaten and very content with my food consumption. Does anyone know what these noises are? Will I always have these? Any way to make them go away? Thanks everyone.

    Mine sounded like a dinosaur fight for about three months and then it slacked off.

  • Okay, so I'm not the only one! Good to know. I thought my stomach was haunted...

    19 months out and I STILL hear the noise. usually only while eating certain foods, but I haven't paid close enough attention to figure out which ones cause it.

Mine was awful at about 2 to 3 months. It actually scared me because the noises changed. More than one time, it made such noise it woke me out of a dead sleep!! It actually turned out that I had a stricture and I wonder if part of the noises I heard were related to that. At 11 months post-op, I still have noises sometimes but not near as bad. Sometimes, it means I am thirsty and Fluid will quiet it. Today (and honestly more than once) I found myself talking outloud to my stomach saying "OK! OK! I am going to get some water! Give me a minute!" :D

14 months out and I still get them...

Sometimes loud enough for the person I'm talking to on the phone to enquire about the rutting wildebeest that seems to be in the room with me...

Good times, good times...

A wonder of nature, if you will...

Geez you should here my stomach today! It has made noise ALL day! Empty, full, thirsty, quenched, etc.... No idea what is going on!

I'm 18 months out, my sister in law is 6 years out - the noises never go away. Embrace it and learn to live with it, lol. It's pretty normal.

I'm nearly 21 months post-op, and my stomach still gurgles sometimes.

But I don't think those on the other end of my phone calls can hear it! ;)
