dgsleeve 1 Posted July 6, 2015 I am now 7 weeks post op but I did have a leak and was fed through IV for most of the 7 weeks. I am tolerating food in very small quantities but my question is : Is it normal for your stomach to feel strange for a while. I can't call it pain Just an odd bubbly feeling. I don't have reflux so I don't think it's that. After the hell u went through right after surgery I just want to make sure this is normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no onions 258 Posted July 6, 2015 My throat and tummy were bubbly and noisy for a few days after surgery. I'm not sure what is normal, especially with the earlier complication you mentioned. I'm that person who will call the surgeon's office with any question/concern - that would be my recommendation to you. I hope you're feeling better and that you are over the hump on the leak. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleevedShannon 6 Posted July 6, 2015 I am 7 weeks post-op and have had the "bubbly" feeling for several weeks. It started when I began eating the soft and pureed foods. It almost feels like air in my stomach is being displaced as the food goes down. I believe it's normal, but you can always check with your surgeon if you're concerned.

HealthyJudy 53 Posted July 6, 2015 I have that too. Started at around week 3. The bubbles sort of feel like champagne is popping open in my stomach.I'm very aware of it but it does not hurt. I do hear other noises too. I think it started when I went from all liquid to a teaspoon of soft food. I had an easy 2 weeks but the last 2 have been more difficult with my stomach trying to adjust and my intestines not doing what intestines are supposed to do!
