Hey All,

I’m 15 days post-op, just moved to soft foods today and super excited. I have lost 20 lbs so far, I’m energized and feel fabulous. My only problem so far is every time I eat something other then yogurt or pudding, I have a lot of noise. Noise coming from my stomach and/or throat? It’s so embarrassing and I swear people can hear it but I just may be paranoid. Anyone else experiencing these noises? Please tell me it’s normal?

Thanks in advance!

I gurgle, too. My husband teases me about it. I don't think anyone else notices:)

I am 3 weeks post-sleeve and my stomach gurgles very loudly as well. My hubby told me he could hear it across the room. A little tummy noises are worth it! No one at work has mentioned anything so it must not be too loud. LOL

Me, too! But other people have mentioned it. Pretty embarrassing, but if that's the worst side effect I get, I can't complain too loudly :-)

I’m wondering if it ever stops... I’m so embarrassed of it! Or what it is exactly. Is it acid reflux? Or eating too fast? Or the wrong things....

Hi I’m six months out and I still gurgle I get so embarrassed because people hear me ... I think with time it will stop

Four and a half years out and it hasn’t stopped yet!

Year and a half and still gurgle. I'll take it over 130 extra pounds lol.

I'm a month in and have it happen as well. Found this and it explains it pretty well https://www.endobariatric.com/weblog/2016/02/08/gurgling-sleeve-sounds/

I gurgled a LOT for the first few weeks, but it has slowed down considerably now (I'm 7 weeks out from RNY). Still happens, especially if I take too big a drink, but not nearly as much as it was. When it was at its worst, sometimes I would open my mouth to talk and would accidentally sing a little tune from the air bubbles.

Yes me too.... hahaha!

I gurgle constantly after meals. The worst is when someone schedules a 1pm meeting and I have to sit in the conference room, after lunch, with my colleagues, and gurgle my way through a meeting. Awful!

At 16 months post op I still gurgle like crazy! It can get so loud I have scared my dog with it!. I think it is the new normal, don't let it bother you.
