Stomach Gurgling Post Gastric Sleeve Operation ?



Recommended Posts

Is this something that will go away eventually. Since surgery my stomach is gurgling non stop. I think it is mad at me for doing this surgery!

Hi Laura, I had surgery the same day as you...and yes.....my stomach gurgles alot. So I'm assuming this is part of the healing process.

Keep us updated on how you are doing. I'm feeling great.....just a little tired.

Mine gurgled a lot at first too. My friends and family used to think it was funny, that it was fussing at me. After about three months, it did quit though.

Britgal-

Are you having trouble with diarrhea? What kind of diet are you doing and how much are you getting in, in a day?

Hi there, i also had surgery on Monday the 28th and my stomach only does that when i drink something, other then that, its content... it must be mad LOL

Also i have had no diarrhea at all, i had one bowel movement and it was ok. Im on a full liquid diet - im currently drinking Water, crystal light, sugar free pudding, low fat Soup strainned, Naked juice Protein. Its been good, dont feel hungry. I do drink water all day so im not sure how much im getting in but its enough, i feel great... Went shopping on Friday drove and everything...

I think a lot of sleevers experience this after sugery. Are any of you on a prescription strength PPI? This really helped me although my stomach did not just gurgle but screamed loudly enough to be embarassing. Really one mad tummy after surgery.

Hope you recover quickly. I love my sleeve, no regrets.

I was going to ask about the PPI also. I've noticed, if I take my PPI and then wait about 30-45 mins before I eat, the gurgling isn't nearly as bad/loud. It can get really lound can't it?? lol

Umm... It is different for everyone but I had my surgery on 6/6/11 and my tummy still does it. Now it is much louder!! It really freaks people out. My DH constantly ask if I am hungry. Sigh. it is what it is.

      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. 🤞
