Random stomach noises



Recommended Posts

Anyone else’s stomach make fantastical new noises post operation? Just wondering if this is the new normal or if I should be concerned. I’m 4 weeks post-op and on advanced purées. Following all the rules carefully. On a side note my family is getting a real kick out of my stomach noises, which sound like a gurgling Chewbacca and/or predator. Not joking.

Yes hahaha I totally know what you mean. For the first few weeks it was super loud, 5 months out it has settled a bit. But yes, totally normal.

Thank God! I can go back to just laughing at it then.

Same happened to me. My 4 year old would fall out laughing when she heard it. 10 months out I hear it occasionally when I eat a little too much.

Almost a year out and still get it on a regular basis. Kind of depends on what I eat. For whatever reason things like yogurt tend to make the most noise. Doesn't stick around for a long but in a quiet office it stands out...lol

Yes! I remember about 3 weeks out from surgery I sent an urgent message to one of my friends who had had RnY a few years before me to ask her if it was normal or if I should call my doctor :) It settled down for me after a few months.

I'm 8 months out and mine still makes a lot of noise after I eat. When I'm in quiet places like work I try to eat very light to minimize it.

I am 2 years post op and sitting at 130 pounds and I still get the weird stomach noises all day everyday.. there’s nothing you can really do to help it unfortunately. They happen when I’m hungry, if I just ate, if I chew gum or drink Water. They are always there. They are caused by excess air in your stomach and kind of go hand in hand with GERD.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
