Im 4 month out since my gastric sleeve

[genny 4]

Does anyone else have rumbling and growling after the eat ? Sometimes mine last for an hour and I can burp a lot while this is going on does anyone else have the same issues or no what is going on ?

I believe this is quite common.

Well ... what's going on is you had 85% of your stomach removed. The stomach is the mechanical part of digestion, so, with 85% missing, the remaining 15% has a bit of work to do. Where the stomach was a vast expanse before, it is now a tiny sleeve smaller than a banana. Air is going to get trapped and released differently than it did pre-sleeve.

I'm over two years out and my tummy still makes more noise than it did pre-surgery.

my stomach sounds like a cross between someone stepping on a creaky floor, a child trying to play the Cello for the first time, and an elk bugling during mating season. Every time I eat and for about 30 minutes after. Luckily the volume is pretty low so I haven't embarrassed myself at work or anything! I'm four months out too.

I actually just described my noises as trumpet sounds like there is a tummy parade going on. Luckily no one has actually heard it except my husband who thinks its fascinating and wants to purchase a stethascope so he can listen better. He's strange

Stomach grumbling...yes . Me too! And it's been It's been a year for me and sometimes it is loud enough for someone sitting right next to me to hear! Really embarrassing! Of course it's particularly worse when I eat sweets.
