Im postop and have an embarassing problem of stomach grumbling etc after eating.

Sometimes when I eat my stomach rumbles for some time afterwards and I go thru a period in which excess air comes up from my stomach and escapes quite noisily thru my mouth. Though this doesnt seem to be a health concern, it is quite embarassing when I am in a quiet room or trying to talk to someone or lying in bed. I was hoping the problem would correct itself in time but it only seems to be getting worse. Is there anyone else out there who has had this problem? Will it ever go away? How do I deal with this for the rest of my life? If I eat right before bed it keeps me awake.
