Does anyone else get excessive gurgling sounds after eating?



Recommended Posts

One of my local sleeve friends said it was because I was hungry. I don't think so. It is after I eat. Am I still eating too fast? Am I eating too gaseous foods?

Any other explanations for it?

oh yes!

in the beginning, it is very common and very loud. after several months, i find mine really gets loud if i eat Soup or Cereal - something that has a liquid component to it. its like the liquid and solid are fighting each other to see which will be digested first.

totally normal.

[Don, i was sleeved on 9.27.11, and YES...my stomach gurgles also after I eat food. I had some white fish meat yesterday and OH my, I was happy I was alone in my office. I figure it is just the stomach doing its thing, as it does not last very long. I disagree with the "being hungry" part JMO Be interesting to see what others have to say

I'm 9 months out and still have a rather loud stomach at times. Haven't been able to pin it down to any particular food though. It was much worse the first couple of months following surgery. Small price to pay!:D

Pretty normal early on, haven't had it after two months. In part it is just stomach acid churning not it being empty. If you stomach hurts you should talk to doctor. Take your antacids it may help

I am almost 17 months out and my tummy still gurgles. I've accepted it as normal. It doesn't happen all the time and is almost exclusively at my evening meal. It is NOT because I'm hungry, it is always after I eat. I don't think my tummy EVER growls any more, not since surgery!!! I think it may be because I eat a little too much at dinner time.

I'm 4.5 months out and I still gurgle like crazy. It feels like it's happening in my throat. It happens only after I eat and it seems worse with certain foods, although I haven't pinned it down exactly. I was just thinking that I should come up with some way to track it because it's majorly embarrassing.

      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?
