Question About Noises

Hello!  I am only 9 days post-op (wow! that went fast!!) and am beginning to wonder about some of the changes in my body and whether or not they will be permanent.  In particular, my new plumbing is making a heck of a lot of noise, noise that is so loud I swear my husband working in the next room can hear them!  They are LOUD!!

Is this just my system settling in, getting rid of the gas from the surgery, getting used to an all liquid diet at the moment?  If so, then I assume it will go away at some point.  Or, do others of you deal with such a noisy belly permanently??

LOL!!!  I am jsut imagining how I am going to explain this to the college students I meet with when I get back to work!

Thanks for your input!

Congrats on successfull surgery.  Sometimes out pouches are very talkative.  Patrece named hers bubbles for the noises that it shares with the world.  Mine isn't too bad, although the gas from below is nasty.  I would rather deal with the noises than the stench.  Best of luck with the noisy plumbing.  Hugs, Kathy

 Thanks, Kathy!!  LOL!!!  OK, you helped me put it in perspective.  I won't complain about the talking any more.  But, I still would love to know from some of the long timers whether or not their pouches are still talkative.  :)

hehe....I like saying it is talkative!

Since writing my note, Selmer (yes, I named the pouch) has been shouting up a storm.  Lovely how our bodies communicate with us.  Hope you get lots of great answers.

Hi, Thanks for allowing me to join your group. I just started on this site. I am scheduled for surgery 11/17 and I am reading all of the posts to gain insight into this voyage that we are undertaking. Thanks for the info and the humor. I too am hearing gurgling- Pre surgery.

Nice to meet you Shannon.  Are you having RNY?  The humor helps.  Not everything is dead serious.  Gotta have some fun here and there.  If you have any questions, comments, please add them.  We will do our best to help.  You will find a great group of folks here.  Hugs, Kathy

Hi Rebecca, other than the noises, how are you doing after surgery?  Getting in your fluids?  Protein? Walking?  Great to see you posting.  Love to hear more about your story.  Hugs, Kathy

guayas, rebecca, and shannon welcome to the loser's bench.  my noises have settle down a lot.  i am about 10 1/2 months post op. so maybe it will get better for you.  at first i thought my intestines were doing flips in there and then standing up for applause.  vick

my insides are still noisy as ever! Some days are better than others. Right now, bubbles is gurgling up a storm... but has been for days now. She is not happy, has been hurting too. Checking with the doc in the morning.
I am 1 year 3+ months out, and the noises have never gone away for me. They do settle down for many tho, and may still for me.. we shall see.
Good luck!

Shannon and Rebecca... great to hear from you both!
