rumbling in the tummy??

HI AGAIN!! I'm 5days post-op,doing good. I have such a rumble in my tummy. I maen this is loud you can hear it in the other room. It seems to just constantly be brewing non stop. Is this normal?? i don't have much gas do you think that might be it? is ther anything that my dr. can give me this early in the game?? Thanks again Paula

Hi! I am 6 mths out and I STILL have a very loud stomach.....usually after I eat, but sometimes if I haven't eaten in a while it will do it too. I don't think its gas for me....not usually anyway . HTH, Genny

Hi Paula.. I am almost 8 days out also doing well. I had terrible tummy rumbles the first several days. For me it was just built up gas. I found if I walked more and did more breathing excercises it really helps to push that gas out of you. I don't recall having any significent rumbles in the past few days, if anything it was very slight and not nearly what it was the first 5 or 6 days out. I don't know that there is anything your DR. can give you but just from reading the other boards for awhile, if it becomes a constant issue some people find relief in Beano or that type of over the counter medication. But that isn't something you can try with your new pouch.. Maybe a few months down the line. Good luck... and just know you are totally normal!
