Gas?

[Melanie28 22]

I'm 3 weeks post op and I noticed that after I'm done eating, my stomach makes lots of growling noises and I get lots of gas. It's awkward when I am at work and have customers lol! Does this happen to anyone else??

Yes definitely , especially a few weeks out. As time goes by you'll find some foods produce this more than others for you. I admit that I sometimes will eat extra light if I'm afraid of having gas during an important meeting, or just drink coffee with Protein Powder in it.

My doctor has me on Zantac for 3 months PO. It has helped with the gas. I wasn't taking it for about a week PO and my stomach sounded like a thunderstorm lol

Yes, very very normal. Funny how all of us who experienced these strange noises and shoulder pain from gas get to re-live it with these posts daily. And smile! My husband and I were sleeved together so the noises we got to enjoy as a pair.

So far everything from Water on up does it for me.

It will last awhile Roscoe. So loud at times you will think everyone can hear it!

Lol i don't doubt it. I almost never burped pre sleeve. Now it's become my constant companion.
