Belly rumbles

[Manwithkids 50]

I’m 5 days post op and my belly rumbles loud Like an irritated volcano and I have diarrhea (tmi?) 6-7 times a day. Is this normal?

Yes, the gas and fluids in your stomach are trying to squeeze through the little openings left because of the swelling. As the swelling goes down, this quiets down a lot. It probably won't go away totally, but it does improve.

So I'm going to have,a Garth Brooks Gut? " And the thunder rosrs" That's something to think about.😢

This! My stomach and gut are so loud, too! I’m over 2 years post op. It’s embarrassing!

I don’t have a noisy belly and the diarrhea I had right after surgery resolved within 1-2 weeks.
