Stomach gurgling in the middle of the night!



Recommended Posts

Last night I woke up and was amazed at the loud gurgling noises my stomach was making. It was so loud I swear my neighbours could have heard it and I live on 5 acres so they are quite a distance away!

Its definitely in the lower part of my stomach and doesn't really seem to be causing any problems.I don't have reflux or anything like that. I assume that its just because my stomach is empty and objecting to the fact.

Good job my husband is a heavy sleeper!

I know what you mean. Mine sounds like an orchestra sometimes. I sure hope it doesn't do this in the middle of church one week!

Dh is banded too and at night we both lie down in bed and the opera starts. We laugh and laugh at the noises that come from our stomachs.

Like you say, its lower, definitely intestinal air moving around, but not in a flatulent kinda way, lol. Its not like you need to fart or anything. Its just kind of there, and when you lie down, all the bubbles rise to the surface, lol.

It must be due to the smaller stomach opening, less air escapes, or something like that but it sure is NOISY.

I too gurgle a lot, but it's even worse when my allergies are bad. Taking an antihistimine and an expectorant from time to time helps with the "music".

Mine gurgles all the time. I was watching TV with my husband and he asked me if I needed to eat? Sunday I was at a matinee and you could here my stomach 3 seats away. I didn't know if I should laugh or be emabrassed. They passed me some trail mix. Next time I'll see a action movie to drown out my stomach.

      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?
