When do the "bubble guts" go away?



Recommended Posts

Everything that I drink makes my new tummy (4 days post op) feel like I have bubbles rolling around in there.

When does this go away?

I am 5 weeks out and mine still does it. It's so odd. I will never get used to it. I hope other people don't notice it.

Yes it does go away but I can say that i am two weeks out and it does not feel the same way it did when I first came home. Now I dont notice it so much as I did before but remember to sip, sip, sip or you will feel like you are trying to swallow large gum balls whole.

Things like this do all go away with time, however I can't tell you exactly how long it will take as everyone is different. I personally think that for me that feeling went away at about 3 weeks out. Good Luck.

The real bad sounds went away after a month for me. However I am more then two years out now, and my tummy can still make some loud noises. Usually happens when I haven't eaten in a while, and then drink Water instead of feeding it. It doesn't really bother me anymore....but it can be embarrassing when other people hear it. I just blame it on not eating for to long. Lol

      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?
