So after I eat or drink anything, for about 10-15 minutes, I make gurgling sounds. I think they sound like a dragon lol

They are uncontrollable, and seem to occur in my throat. Is this because I am eating/drinking too fast? or is it a normal side effect?

My sleeve is a dragon too. Not that close to after I eat(so not sure if you're eating too fast) but yes I do get noises. My boss heard my tummy one day and was like "what was that?" completely perplexed and I had to say "My stomach" and we laughed about it. I just know it's my sleeve doing its job and I love it. Weird questions but does your sleeve have a name? I'm seeing (mostly on Tumblr) where people name their sleeves and because I am a child I want to name mine too, but I haven't picked out anything yet lol.

I do not love it enough yet to name it. Check back with me in a month :P

Totally normal!

Some sleeves are very "talkative", others not so much.

My sleeve talks, grumbles, and/or gurgles a LOT during the day, after I eat, before I eat, or whenever it wants.  It doesn't bother me, because I know it means it's working the way it should be.

I am 16 months out from VSG and my stomach still does this.  I was hoping it would go away eventually but hasn't yet.  If this is the worst thing that comes from surgery, I will take it.

I had my sleeve done 2/22 and it is very noisy, especially after drinking water. I also get a tight feeling in my chest when the noises start sometimes.  I feel better knowing I am not the only one experiencing this.
