Three Days Post Op

I made it home yesterday. Had my RnY on Thursday…it was a bit rough waking up in recovery and initially getting to my room, but after a few hours once the anesthesia wore off, I was walking the halls by myself! My wife stayed with me the first night….good thing since it was a full house and the nurses were a bit slow coming. Pain really is not too bad today at all….if I do a little too much, then it starts to hurt…but for the most part, this has not been too bad at all. I really expected the worse and nothing turned out to be as bad as I anticipated. I don’t return to wor****il 10/31 so looking forward to doing a whole lot of nothing for the next 6 weeks. I’m sipping the fluids with no problems. I have noticed my new stomach is very LOUD! Am I always going to be this noisy?

Congrats .. It sounds like you're to a great start. Stay walking, but don't overdo for a while. As for the noisy pouch, I think you'll find that just about the time you get used to all the noise, it will get better. I assume you mean the internal noise and not the farting, which I don't believe ever gets better. Although I wi**** did.

I actually was referring to the internal noise....however, I never appreciated farting so much in my life! That JUST started this morning, wow talk about relief! My wife and daughters don't appreciate it as much though! :-) 

Congratulations Mike. You and I are just about on the same schedule! Keep it up with those walks.

 Congratulations Mike.  The pouch grumblings get less and less over time.  I will occasionally here from my pouch but most of the time not.   As for the other end...  Let's just say "crop dusting" happens often while walking through the local malls...
