Stomach Gurgling



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have LOTS of stomach gurgling when you eat and after eating? I seem to have a lot of it and it's pretty loud and I know that others have noticed it. Is this something that is normal? Does it go away? I can deal with it, but when I'm in a quiet setting and my stomach goes crazy with loud gurgling, it can be a little daunting hee hee. Thanks for sharing....

Jillybean,

I am right there with you. My husband has noticed it and even my 3 year old niece. She likes to lay on my stomache and listen to it. It's annoying to me but she just laughs. I am 3 weeks out from surgery, and am still getting very gassie after all meals.

You betcha.

As my level of restriction went up - the symphony of sounds that my stomach makes is incredible. I never knew I could make such noises.

It gurgles, churgles, and makes noises - but I listen to those noises because that first hiccup means it's time to stop eating. If I hear too many noises it may mean that I didn't chew my food well enough. All in all, I've learned to listen to my band - it's usually telling me something! :-)

My tummy gurgles and sounds like an un clogged drain sometimes it is loud and sometimes it is not. I was banded in September 2007 and lost so far 70 pounds wow. I had my third fill this morning and well I am not hungry anymore. My Dr. said that I am doing so good it is hard to believe and that he thinks its great because I did not gain weight over the holidays and that I lost weight. I have a normal sized band and I am about 3 ccs full total wow no wonder I can't eat. Chew Chew Chew or else you will throw it back up.

I got my first fill on December 15th, and was gurgling so much while I tried to drink the Water... I got scared (because I hadnot checked this board first to see that it is normal)... so I insisted that the Dr take some of the fill out.

Three days later, everything was back to normal... I am able to anything I want...

I am going to try to be more tolerant next month and let him be more agressive... knowing that the gurgling is normal... and will subside after a few days.

I was giving tests a couple of weeks ago and, on cue, my stomach started gurgling and growling whenever the room was perfectly quiet during the tests. To my students' credit, not one of them looked up at me, that I noticed. I can only hope that it wasn't as loud as it seemed!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
