Sleeved, now what to do about the gurgling noises?



Recommended Posts

I was released this afternoon from the hospital. I hated their Protein Shakes, way too sweet, so drank milk. Now that I am home, I am noticing a ton of loud gurgling noises coming from my new stomach. I want to finish half of my shake, but these noises are freaking me out.

Help? Advice? Should I just do broth for a couple days and slowly add the shakes?

They are now our new normal. We gurgle. It's ok. we are going to gurgle no matter what, so I learned to ignore my little gurgler.

Ok, it makes me nervous to eat Protein. I figured, I would stay with broth and light liquids for a couple days, then add the shakes by the weekend.

Does gas x help the bubbles??

The gurgle is annoying, but normal. As a matter of fact, the gurgling was so loud when I went to bed tonight that my husband was freaking out about the noise. My kids think that it is hilarious, especially when it is quiet and my gurgler goes off.

I'm over 2.5 years out - and I still gurgle... its something you will get used to. - Also my throat makes noises - not so much a burp - but more a burp inside my throat - thats 'normal' too - well it is for me. Congrats on getting the surgery

@ I have the throat gurgling thing too. Good to know it not unusual. I didn't figure it was too weird, since I've been doing really great since my surgery.

I'm almost 3 months out and I have loud gurgles for about 15 minutes after every meal and then it stops

My gurgling mostly stopped several weeks after surgery once the swelling had gone down. Now it's only occasional.

I have the gurgling too especially after I eat and that also is away for me to know I am full. ;-)

      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.
