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.

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
