Thanks Bay, that's very kind of you :) i have 5 holes now.. but thank goodness they are all drying up after 4 days of daily dressing. Guess i am recovering....
Grandviewacres, Just want you to know my holes are getting better! I think the holes are either caused by suture from my internal stitches of my muscles layer or because of the small injuries during...
Has anyone experience having small holes along the incision side. I am 3 weeks post op. Somehow my incision starts developing small holes. No fever.. no redness.. no white stuff... just small holes....
Sigh... i feel you... i am still under antibiotics right now too... surgeon removed my stitches a week ago and realise that my surgery wound is weeping alittle. So he prescribe augmentine. Since then...
Update from me. I stop fybogel and stop medication two weeks ago. It was rough at first but now, with the help of veggie and more solid food, it is bulking up. I still needs to rush to the bathroom...

What will you do if you are in my situation? Stuck in a jam 1-2hours every morning and evening + urgencies at times...

Mine was bad rash. Do take good care of your skin. Do not let it get any worse. If not... itching and stinging will be hell....
That must be a lot of sweat!!!! Air-conditioner, a hair-dryer, and a gauze! Adjust your room tempt right, wipe all the sweat and water from your stoma with a gauze and blow dry your stoma area with...
most lilely your skin is healing. If there is no more redness and sting... just continue doing what you are doing now. :)...

nope... i had those dissolvable internal stitches during my 3rd surgery and i got very bad infection where they have to stretch open my skin and cut the internal stitches. It was pure hell at that...
zinc oxide is a cream recommended by my surgeon because i have a very red ring which is watery. Do not buy nappy rash cream that you can get over the counter because those often have oil substance...
I will be a week post op by Monday, and yes I still have a little pain every once in a while when I stands up from a chair or sometimes walking, having urgency and gas. Is around the intestine...
Is time for update again. My BM reduces a whole lot after taking fybogel! From 10+ BM to 4-5BM a day. All I do is take half a sachet of fybogel whenever my BM is too frequent and watery. Since I am...
Hmm... Hopefully everything will be OK soon. When I have the gas, that is when I feel like I have to go to the toilet. If I did not consume fybogel, my BM is watery and even I drink fybogel, my BM...
