Stomach Growling Like Mad



Recommended Posts

I am a week post op exactly today, I am sticking to the menu like my doctor ordered but oh my gosh my stomach is growling all day and I mean violently. I am almost worried just the growling alone is going to cause it to slip, it is that bad :rolleyes Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do?

Yes mine growled and I could never figure out if was my big tummy or little tummy growling. It was like I had a tiger in my tank. It lasted for 4 weeks after surgery.

It was very noisy. I was noisy with gas too. That lasted a month too. FYI.

Wow your progress is awesome, congratulations. Thank you for the reply it really helps to know I am not the only person this has happened to.

You will growl like a BEAST for about the first month. Then if you are anything like me, you will growl about 3 hours (I can almost set my watch by it) after a meal. When you are first banded the growling will be incredibly loud (as in...across the ROOM loud!) but it'll settle down to a dull roar after that. Now I just feel it more than hear it.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
