Can you feel two stomachs?

I have no idea if it is even possible or if my mind has been playing tricks on me, but shortly after surgery, I swear I I could feel both my pouch and the remaining stomach. Even now Im sitting on my couch and my stomach part is gurgling a bit. Have any of you experienced the same thing? Is it even possible?

  • My stomachs still gurgles after a year and half. No sure what that means. It doesn’t bother me. It just gets noisy sometimes.

What I could feel after surgery for a little while was that the food was sitting in a really small, very specific part directly under the xiphoid process.

After a few weeks this feeling returned to the feeling of the food being distributed in the upper part of the abdomen so the feeling of "full" changed back to where it was sitting before.

That was a very interesting experience and one of the few things I can still remember about how it felt to be "post-MGB" early out.

not me - I don't feel any different than I did before (well, other than I'm not obese anymore, of course - but my innards feel the same)

I do still feel my pouch and yes you stated the location perfectly. I feel when Precious Pouch spasms, extreme pain before I regurgitate, and sometimes it is distended enough it feels like festering boil. But the remainder of my natural stomach? It doesn't make its presence known, almost like I was post-VSG and its gone FOREVER. But I have right subcostal pain almost on a continual basis.My Dr Noria states that is my ulcerated jejunem that I feel. ???
