After 12 days post op I'm getting a lot of noises and rumbling sounds from my lower tummy area and occasional twinges especially after drinking or eating
I presuming that's my intestines settling and changes in that area and bowel movements adjusting as not painful just so noisy !
Hi mollysue
Give you CNS a call and mention it. They will be able to give you some reassurance.
It's not something that I experienced but could indeed be things settling after the surgery.
Jane
I'll call my nurse Monday as still getting these loud lower tummy noises
I don't think from my hysterectomy but maybe just intestines as I suffer from gallstones and Gerd too
could be intestines settling but the sounds are loud and not painful but I feel full of wind
Plus I have Gerd / take tabs and gallstones so maybe all connected
