I'm 10 weeks post op and every time I eat or drink my stomach still makes the gurgling grumbling sounds. Everyone that I'm normally around knows I had surgery and they laugh with me when it makes noises but when I'm somewhere and it does it people look at me. It's loud when it does it. How long will it do that? Other than the looks I get at times it doesn't bother me... my son thinks it's funny because I talk back to it sometimes and tell it to stop complain at least it's not chicken broth. [emoji16]

It's peristalsis. It's completely normal unless accompanied by worrisome secondary effects.

What's actually concerning is hearing nothing, but I will say the faster you eat, the faster stuff moves through you, so the higher likelihood of it being noisy.

I was told that my new stomach would make noises a lot... it did in the beginning but not any more

How long ago did you have surgery?

13 weeks. However, the gurgling stopped about a month that ago

Oh ok. I'm 10 weeks so maybe it will ease up some. It's woke me up before it was that loud. Lol.

lol my stomach has made noises my whole life, not to mention my hernia. My stomach has stopped since the surgery.
