Hello! New to this forum! I just had a conversion from a Lap-Band to RNY on October 16th. I was released yesterday and had my first night at home. Couple of questions from this newbie, has anyone experienced severe, loud gurgling in their bowels/stomach. Sometime it leads to passing gas, other times I get more than gas with the rumblings. Im wondering if it's a lactose intolerant. I need some feedback. The stomach noises are scaring my children

I had similar experience but mine was due to the barium used for testing. It passed at about 8 days post op

Is there anyone who can give me any feedback with this? It would be great to have support from anyone who is going or has gone through this! Look forward too responses~

Hello! I went band to bypass on 8/11/2014, and it was the best decision of my life. I am 5 months post op and am down 70 lbs! Today I weigh 228 lbs! I am off high blood pressure meds and acid reflux meds. I cannot believe that the 200 lb mark is within reach.

I look forward to reading everyone's stories! God Bless!

Congratulations ForeverFat. I'm with you on the surgery date. I bet I beat you to the 100 pounds lost though. Best of luck with your weight loss journey.

Lol the noises are LOUD and the gas is bad. I blamed it on the poor kitty's until one day I felt so guilty I told my hubby it was me, lol.

22 months later still have the gas. My hubyy calls it gernobile as in nuclear bomb, lol.

At least he still loves me, lol, gas and all.

Keep up the great work.
