I would say yes. Mine was 12-13 and it makes a lot more noise than before but the further out from surgery it is calming down.

You should feel at least a little bloated. They fill your abdominal cavity with air during the procedure and there are only 2 ways for it to exit, lol. I was sleeved on 12/21 and I'm having trouble passing my gas which means I can't be discharged. I feel great...just need to fart, lol.

I'm sure I'm fine. I had similar issues when I had my csection 4 yrs ago.

lol, definitely not hunger. If you think about how small your stomach is now and how big the rumbles are it's not logical.

I'm about 5 mo out. Mine gurgles still. It's not hunger. Sometimes it's acid. And I can feel when my sleeve empties out- it gurgles like a bathtub emptying out!
