Stomach gurgling?!

[TheRevisionedVagabond 53]

Hey everyone! I just hit my 3 week post op mark! Woohoo! Though, I've regretted this surgery since about Day 2 because of all the issues I'm having. Don't feel too comfortable going into those issues on this forum. However, every single time I eat or drink something, my sleeve starts gurgling and crying and whatnot haha. It's embarrassing. My husband is always like "are you still hungry?" Bless his heart, he always offers more food because he thinks I'm still hungry due to those sounds.

Anyone else experience this? Does it go away over time? Anything that can help? If it helps at all, I take Nexium in the morning.

My friend had the surgery 5 years ago and used to refer to that as her 'wookie' . I think it lasted quite a while, she just got used to it.

I'm a little over 6 weeks post op, and had those the whole first month or so.

They seem to have subsided. The only thing I'm still experiencing is the sort of audible gurgling sound in my throat when I lie down.

Mine definitely got better and less noticeable over time. You are still swollen and healing. If it's still happening at 3 MONTHS out, then you can start to worry it might never go away.

16 weeks out and still going. I tell my kids that its my new tummy saying "we got this"!

Wow!! That's seriously so interesting?! I wonder why that is?? It's not really annoying, just embarrassing hahaha. I really hope mine subsides.

Six months out and from time to time my stomach sounds like Chewbacca. Just sayin'. It doesn't mean anything. It's just doing its job.

It happens from time to time with me but is lessening as I heal. I'm almost 4 months post op and all of that is settling down.

The more you heal the better things will be. Hang in there!

Happened a lot in the beginning, now just happens occasionally.

I actually had a RYN and had the same thing. It did go away with time, just your stomach adjusting

I do. That's when I know my stomach is getting full. I'm 63 days post op

I just embraced my gurgle. I always mute the tv and my husband and I laugh about it. Sometimes I wiggle my top half and it feels like it helps to work the gurgles out.

I'm 10 weeks out and still get it most days. It's random so I never know when It will happen lol.

It doesn't bother me at all.

Lol. My stomach gurgling noises especially when I'm at work. Whoever is around, I tell them to keep it down.

Totally normal! The first two months mine made so much noise, it was weird. Now it mostly only does it when I eat something that I haven't eaten with my sleeve yet, or it's just digesting oddly.
