Am I the only one who kinda likes the gurgling tummy?



Recommended Posts

Every time I sip anything and it hits bottom, my sleeve instantly starts to gurgle and make little bubbly noises. I actually kinda like this because I feel like I am getting "in touch" with my sleeve....like I'm getting to know this new piece of me.

I'm a hippie. I hug trees too. haha

And here I thought it meant I was sipping too fast:-D, never thought of it like I was getting to know my sleeve. Funny

I take prilosec. No clue if it helps but I am scared to stop taking it.

I am not on any PPI's.

My gurgling is not painful. It's not even really uncomfortable other than I may have to stretch out my upper body to allow an air bubble to come up. Most of my stomach was just removed. I expected some kind of weirdness for awhile.

I am on PPIs, have been for a long time. And my sleeve talks to me and people around me. I named her Gurgulina. It does not hurt, just feels sometimes like i have to burp but cant. I take her "chatter" as a sign to slow down a little more :)

Gurgulina - I love it! Your description fits my experience to a T... Lots of gurgles, very few actual burps, taking all the time, only quiets when I have taken a break from sipping (I am day 5 liquids, Jello, melted yogurt only)...

I have that same sound--good I am glad I am not the only one--getting to know my new buddy the sleeve LOL! I get gassy too--and a little constipated, drinking Smooth Move from whole foods and that helped ALOT! I am still sleeping on the recliner/sofa and my right side HURTS!!

      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?
