Holy Moley!  My entire digestive system 3 days post-ops sounds like I am sliding furniture around.  Yowzers.  Thankfully I will be home for a bit.  Does this ever quiet down?

LOL - mine did too.  It settled down eventually (I'm 2.5 months out), but it was really crazy for a few weeks.  It's still not as quiet as before surgery, so I just imagine all the little digestive gremlins/minions running around in there trying to figure out what to do with the new system. :)

LOL isn't it weird? Does settle down but takes some time. I am 4 months out.

It settled down within a few months.  It did get quieter by the time I returned to work a few weeks after surgery.  :)

I was sleeved a day ahead of you and couldn't agree more. Last night my Husband and I were reading before we went to bed and both kept laughing at the sounds coming from my belly. Cheap entertainment!

I was surprised at those sounds too!  I was like, is there a gremlin in my stomach? :)  Mine quieted down after a week or so.  I still have some sounds, but not NEARLY what they were the first weeks after surgery. :)
