You would be in more pain than having a "few twinges of pain". Your body is healing on the inside. I had a lot of pain to the lower left of my incision after open RNY, so much so that I had to hold my belly when I walked or stood up.

I had a twisted bowel that required immediate surgery 5 days after my RNY. Symptoms were vomiting on everything and nothing, to include water, and intense pain in the pouch area. It was awful...I wouldn't consider twinges a twisted bowel. However, if your symptoms get worse, do check it out with the surgeon.

Sounds like gas moving through your system to me. At 15 months out, I still occasionally experience this.
