Stomach Growling Like Mad

AzGirl · August 23, 2007

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.

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.
