I have noticed that my stomach gurgles every time I eat. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello! How many weeks/days has it been since you had your surgery? I experienced quite a lot of gurgling the first few weeks after my VSG, but it subsided significantly over time. It happened specially right after I ate (drank) something, but it was not limited to those times. The noise was intense enough to be heard by other people. I did not have any pain related to it. It was just very noisy and a lot of movement inside. I was told it was normal and had to do with inflammation. In any case, you should ask your bariatric team, if only to ease your mind.

Yes, that’s exactly when mine happens. Right after I eat or drink. It is loud and embarrassing. My team just said to take my Prilosec every morning. It will subside in time.

Yes, it feels like gas, but I only notice it at night when I am laying down. It is very noisy and travels all around. I don't usually feel anything sitting or standing. I am going to try getting all my fluids in at. least an hour before bed and see if that helps tonight. I agree it doesn't hurt, it's just different and would be embarrassing if it happens while I am in public.

Mine happens anytime I ingest food or liquids and it is loud. I know it will go away in time. My dietitian says it’s because my new digestive system has to learn process things differently now.

I am 23 years out from surgery and I almost always gurgle when I eat soup, chili, etc. And yes, everyone around me can hear the gurgling and it brings a smile to their face!

My stomach has never gurgled after I ate like it does now. Some of these subject seem silly to be talking about but they are part of our lives now

Mine goes away if I get up and walk around. For me it's usually burps.
