Jump during a stomach operation (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hop

'jump' is the definition.
(hop is a kind of jump)

'during a stomach operation' is the wordplay.
'during' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HOP' is hidden in the letters of 'stomach operation'.

(Other definitions for hop that I've seen before include "Jump on one foot" , "'..., step and jump (3)'" , "..., skip and jump" , "Jump on a pogo stick" , "Beer flavouring; jump" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
