To produce gastric juices that trickle into the small intestine and then assist with digestion as food leaves your new pouch!

Im pretty sure this is how it works!

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Vanessa:

Are you talking about your right side? If so, your old stomach is not there. The old stomach is attached to your left side. The only thing related to your gastrointestinal tract on your right side is your intestines. The growling may be gas.

I think I know what you are talking about. I just figured it was the juices that aid with digestion rumbling around. I thought it was really weird at first too. I have also noticed when I get sick, the non pouch side of my stomach seems to contract too.

Yep, my bigger stomach growls quite ferociously at times. Not even a peep from my little tummy. Unless I eat something wrong. Whoa, the pain signals that little thing can put out!
