Had the sleeve done yesterday and was released from the hospital today...the surgeon who did it was not there to release me rather some assistants of his did. But my belly is making gargling noises...is this normal?

Yep, I am 11 weeks out...I still have some burps, strange noises when I eat or drink...and especially so, if I forget and eat/drink too quickly or eat/drink at the same time.

It is your new normal...

Best of luck to you!

Yes, it's normal. Get used to it. Lol. My students named my stomach chewie (short for chewbaca). It does get better. My stomach really doesn't make any noises now, but I do still have random sounding burps every now and then. My dh says they sound like Godzilla. :)

Here too! Almost 9 weeks out and had to eat my lunch during a meeting yesterday. Got some strange looks from the people next to me! LOL

I'm nine months out and it still happens. I call it whale singing. Usually it happens if I eat the "wrong" food (carbs) but sometimes it's caused by drinking too much at once.

Yep. 15 weeks out and I am sitting here listening to my "whale song" now. Gurgles, burps, stuttering plops, whining screeches....I have stopped noticing most of it at this point.

This made me laugh! I was just telling my husband last night that it sounded like I swallowed a whale. It feels like Dory is striking up a conversation in the evenings!

      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.
