4.5 Months Out And Weird Gurgling When I Eat!



Recommended Posts

The strangest thing just started this week. When I eat- Protein, fruit/veggies...whatever...my stomach gurgles and little bubble (like mini belches) come up. It's not painful or uncomfortable...just really weird and out of the blue. I am not drinking with meals nor eating anything especially gassy. I wonder whether I am eating too fast (still have trouble with that) and taking in too much air. But, why would that start now? I see my surgeon in 2 weeks...if this persists I will call before.

Also, the Constipation has come back. I was good for 3 months and POW! But, I am stressed and so busy at work. I drink all my fluids, but I tend to suck it down in clusters versus drinking constantly all day.

Yup- it went away and came back now. The NP said it was normal and nothing to worry about. Eat slow to avoid swallowing air.

Look up "gurgles" or "gurgling." Or even "nurps" (my own term). This comes up pretty frequently. It's very common. It may or may not go away. I had it the full 6 years I was banded, lost it when the band came out, and the day I was sleeved it came back. It's really nothing to worry about in and of itself. We just made strange noises. :)

We refer to my gurgles as my little aliens. My work colleagues are great and just giggle and support me.

My doc says that they will come and go. Something about air pockets.

But no harm.

My tummy still 'talks' when I eat, it's 'vocal' right now and I'm just drinking coffee!!!

      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?
