hello everyone!

I just recently had Gastric Sleeve surgery on 06/18/2018. I was home from the hospital the following morning. Feeling great, getting all of my exercise in, having no trouble with Fluid, or getting my Protein in (so far, cross your fingers for me!).

Is it normal for my stomach to produce a mating call any time it's given any sort of liquid?

I'd say it's "normal" in that your stomach is still healing so it's possible the liquids are triggering the nerves responsible for triggering the noises. Unless it's just some bubbling from the liquids making their way through, should ease up once the swelling is gone.

Hi Weight of Mind congratulations on a successful surgery. I know sometimes mine once in awhile can make almost obscene LOL noises. My dr. Was running late the other day and it decided to do what you called a mating call. I think it was a combo call of ok I’ve got Water where’s my Protein, it’s time it’s time. I think now we just have to be more in tune with our body and it’s needs not it’s want. Sounds like you’re right on track have a happy, healthy, blessed journey.🙏👏👏🤗

My stomach gurgles and squeaks like a pod of dolphins. I'm pushing seven months out. I think this is just the new normal. Noisey assed stomach!

Weight of Mind, I was also sleeved on 6/18/18 and my new sleeve makes a considerable amount of noise. I attribute it to the trapped gases making their way out of my abdomen. Sounds like you’ve had a relatively easy recovery thus far, congrats.

I am almost 8 weights out and I could have a conversation with my stomach. I would say it is normal.

Oh gosh yes, my stomach is so loud. I have a list of excuses to recycle because it's that bad. It does get better though. I find mine is the worst within the first 30-45 mins after a meal. Sometimes it will do it when I'm drinking though, and that's when its really annoying.

Exactly the same here at 4 months. Empty, full, with Water, without water, it's noisy!

I named mine bob. I figured something that talked so much should have a name.

I like that "Bob" find you realize it could also stand for Belly On Board? I named my itty bitty gastric ulcer, Hector, I figured it might Hector and nag me if I didn't swear off NSAIDS and not follow a more bland gastro-friendly diet from now on!😪

I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery & my hiata hernia repaired on 6/19/18. My recovery hasn't been easy. My stomach does make alot of noise and my chest feel tight. But still hoping to recover as soon as possible.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
