In the past few weeks, my stomach (pretty sure it's the lower part) has been making gurgling sounds. Not hungry gurgles but more like alien gurgles. I'm not hungry or intolerant of foods. It seems to happen at bed time and I lay there listen to the symphony. Weird.

Am I a lone gurgler?

Nope you are not alone. I can't say it's always in the evening or even what exactly causes it. Sometimes it feels like it starts gurgling on the left and gurgles over to the left. Weird sensation. I'm guessing gas or food moving through the band? No clue.

The nurse at my Bariatric Clinic suggested that you take a Probiotic for this. I get mine at my Vitamin shop in the refrigerated section. Your pharmacy may have them but may have to ask as they may be refrigerated. It was explained that what happens after surgery and even when stressed that the bad gut bacteria takes over. The probiotic gives back the good bacteria. I tried this and seen releift the next day.

I have the same gurgling noise and senastion. Mine generally happens about an hour after I drink anything. There is no pain or discomfort, its just a gurgling noise.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
