I am about a week post-op and have started having this rumbling in my stomach. It sounds like hunger rumbles but I am not sure. I don't really feel hunger. Honestly, I don't know what i feel because it is all so new to me. Have any of you that have been sleeved longer experienced this?

Residual gas rumbling around in there? That's really the only thing I could think. Plus, the stomach is probably trying to figure out what the heck we've done to it. It does go away.

That's good to know...I have the rumblings too and just have VSG on 1/27...I was hoping that they would eventually go away.

Thanks for the info!

Yes, I had the same thing and it was so LOUD and often. I was so embarrassed at work. Anytime I was in a meeting the noises would start and everyone would pretend they didn't hear them until a client said something during a conference call!!! I asked my doctor about them and he said it is perfectly normal as our bodies are trying to adjust to the trauma and figure out where everything is now. I can say that it does just seem to disappear one day, at least about 95%.

      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.
