Just got sleeved on Wednesday, my tummy is making lots of gurgles. I'm trying to get my fluids in and eat some Jello but its not going away... Any suggestions?

You don't want it to go away. It is your body making an effort to rid itself of all the gas they put into your abdomen. Eventually it will make its way down and out. I was sleeved on Tuesday and although it doesn't hurt, it sounds like a thunderstorm is taking place in my gut.

t got the same thing for about a week. it goes waway evetually. it will be hard to get those liquids down at first for some, but just give it a few days and you will be on your way.

My tummy was very noisy for the first month or so. But, it also may be acid. Talk to your doctor about taking an acid reducer every morning before you eat - it really helps!

The hunger pain feeling and sounds in my new stomach were acid related. Once I started taking my pepcid it stopped. Now if you are having sounds in your intestines that is probably gas. That is good...keep it moving.

It is all of the gas making it's way out. Eventually you will get terrible gas and the screaming me-me's and it will all go away!!

My noisy tummy lasted about 3 weeks. I had HORRIBLE gas pains for 3 days HORRIBLE gas for about a week and diahreah about a week.

Hang in there for a good time!! LOL

I bet it's gas, too - as long as it's trying to get out of your body, you're in good shape! My tummy also gurgles whenever I get close to "full" - that might be just some liquids for you right now, since your stomach is still swollen and healing!

at 8 months my sleeve still talks to me all time. I asked the doc about it and he said it is a forever thing. Good news it it talks less. and softer over time. Think of it a audible indicator of your new tiny tummy that will serve you well!:rolleyes:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
