How long do stomach noises last?

[HereComesTheSun 13]

I am only about a week out from surgery. I have a question for folks further along. How long do the stomach gurgles continue while you are eating or drinking? Every time I take a sip, my stomach gurgles as it settles and I usually need to burp after a few sips. Is that something that continues for the rest of your life or is it something that will go away after a while? If it does go away, do you remember how long it took?

It doesn't bother me when I am home alone (in fact, I appreciate the gurgles because they let me know I am good to take another sip); but, I don't see myself drinking in front of people anytime soon unless they are really good friends.

Three and half years out and I still have them. You (and your spouse) gets used to it.

The gurgling and burping from drinking settled down for me a few weeks out. I still get some rumbling from eating, depending on what I eat. I'm 5 months post-op now.

I'm almost 10 months out and my stomach makes random gurgling noises through out the day. Sometimes its when I'm eating or drinking something. Other times - it just seems to yell out. lol. My husband giggles. I get a little self conscious when we're out or I'm at work, but it is what it is.

Mine settled down about a month post op. I burped a lot too and that has gone away too.

I am almost 6 mths out and I am just now noticing that it doesn't gurgle every time I eat. But if I drink a lot on an empty stomach it will make some noise for a while.

My gurgles and bubbles lasted at least 6 months before tapering off. At 1 year, they were almost gone. Now, at 2 years, I have to eat something really tough - like dry chicken breast - to get a gurgle out of Frankensleeve.

Mine slowed down tremendously, it happens rarely. Mostly when drinking coffee. The gurgles have been replaced w/burps,

I'm almost 3 months out and still have lots of gurgles. Really embarrassing at work but I figure it will go away eventually.

7 months out and Milagro the Mexican Wonder Tummy still loves to make himself known, especially with certain foods.

Gas x strip s helped me. Not many just like one before church or before my follow up appointment. Three weeks out today and all I have is the gurgles after eatin or drinking when its going down. No more belly noises.

I had these weird gurgles before getting sleeved, so I wonder what will happen after. I am glad to hear I am not the only one who has to burp after almost every sip. I hope that goes away soon!

I'm 8 weeks out and my stomach still rumbles with every bite or sip. I also feel like I have to burp all the time. It's super lady like!

Ditto- 10 months out and my stomach still has conversations with us at the dinner table
