Rumbling tummy

[Kidnurs 12]

I am 2 and a half months post gastric bypass surgery and it seems like my stomach is rumbling and growling and gurgling constantly to the point that I am really becoming self conscious about it. It is sooooo loud and embarrassing! It doesn’t hurt and I am not hungry but it does it anyway. I just wanted to see if anyone else has this issue and if it will be like this forever or maybe tone down a little. On the up side....I feel great!!!!!

Yes! I am exactly 10 weeks post gastric bypass, and have the same problem!! I'm still on Protein Shakes (complications) and it doesn't rumble and gurgle on the shakes, but if I eat any real food the crazy noises start. Very embarrassing! I hope we ger some advice, because I don't know what to do about it!!

Normal ... it stopped at maybe 5-6 months post op for me

I am 5 weeks out from gastric sleeve, and the same thing happens to me as soon as I start to eat, Soup, yogurt etc. along with the burping. Glad to hear it is normal and that i am not the only one.

I had this with sleeve too and it lasted from month 2 to month 6 but now it's gone.

Susie, I'm over 3 months and get the rumbling with yogurt (although I live off yogurt) and also get the hiccups. They are both annoying and embarrassing. Glad it see it passes!

The same thing is happening to me as well. In fact, it's the stomach and not the pouch that likes to talk. That and the intestines say hi even more often than my lonely stomach. Ive never been so consious of where my stomach and internal organs are in all my life.

In August I get back to my work as a teacher and hope it has calmed down by then. Otherwise I have to tell my students that it's my tummy rumbling and asking for food.
