Hey!

I have a bit of a weird question, how big of an issue are stomach noises post-op? I have read on these forums that this happens many and am a bit concerned because I have quite a bit of schooling left (6 years) where I have to sit in quiet class rooms. Mainly, how long does the growling last after surgery? Thanks!

Surgery date, of 5/17/13, and my stomach growls all the time as well. When I wake up, am laying down, when I am walking around. It has nothing to do with the eating or drinking. I'm having what sounds like the same things you are having. I don't know how long it lasts. This Friday will be 2 weeks post-op for me. You?

Hey I actually haven't been sleeved yet! I am still pre-op, however this is an area of concern for me as it would have a great impact on my life. I hope it stops for you soon, congrats on 2 weeks!

i am 7 months out and it still happens.. It gurgles and rumble and growls but not consistently.. The only time it bothers me is when I am in a meeting and it starts up.. It has no problem making it self heard HAHAHA! I either ignore it or if appropriate try to say something funny.. Everyone at works knows I had surgery so I have prewarned them as well.. It is what it is and I am just so glad I am losing weight..

I guess this is the norm, is there anything that can be done about it, I can see this being a problem for me:(

Do they ever stop? I wonder if anyone 1 or 2 years post-op can shed some light??

Rejoice! They do stop and you won't even notice when they did. Mine stopped by 2-3 month out. But they can be embarrassing. Just keep taking your med and eat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
