No one told me
The one thing I am experiencing so far that no one told me about was all the rumbling, grumbling, and gurgling my insides would do post op. It feels so weird. It started at the hospital. I thought it was my stomache growling at first but knew that didn't seem right. By the third day my stomach was rumbling full force. Every time I stand or lay down it rumbles & gurgles.
Anyone else rumbling, grumbling, and gurgling?

I just started to get the "gurgling" last night. I also got to "Slime" on a protein drink! OMG, that is not something I want to do again. I am also having problems with one of my drain sites, guess it is getting infected or as the VN says, they think I got myself a little leak. I have to go back to the hospital on Monday, sooner if anything changes. The fun we go through. Sorry if I sound like I am complaining, I really am in a good mood. I know that poop happens(that is also the smell coming from my drain site) yuck!!
I am really glad everyone else is doing so great! THere is always one that a little thing goes wrong.
Well, enough said, Happy Valentines Day to everyone!!

RUMBLING, Grumbling and GURGLING!! Yesterday was also the worst for me as well. Stomach also felt like I had eaten a whole watermelon. Thank God today is so much better. A little quieter but I am not yelling to my family "Get outta my way Scottie she's gonna blow1"
Hang in there its gotta get better and yes it is gas from the intestinal tract waking up.

I've had quite a bit of rumbling. It has eased up the past couple days and seems to only be when I eat. I've heard a lot of people talking about how loud their stomachs are postop and how sometimes the noises will even come up out of their mouths--not a burp--more like they are throwing their voices. I'm hoping it stays minimal because it is a little weird wondering where that rumble will end up!!
Hang in there.

Glad to be of service. I love to laugh and take every opportunity I can to make someone laugh--sometimes at completely inappropriate times, but such is life!
Keep on laughin'!
