So i feel good physically, but I'm going a lot, all day long, all hours of the night throughout my sleep. I know this is expected but I'm pretty much not sleeping due to my need to go to the bathroom...
Things have gotten a little better. I haven't transferred from liquid diet to soft foods though. Do things get better after that? Or worst....
Thanks for the reply.. I hope this is a very temporary thing because you can't really live life like this....
I was laying in bed here at the hospital and woke up with poop all over the blanket. There was no warning or anything. Seems to be just pouring out my ass without any pushing or urgency feeling....
I'm fresh out of surgery, there was a couple times where liquid just came out my rectum without any pushing. Prior to the surgery I was able to hold in mucus so this is a little different for me....
After I had my first bowel movement there was a lot of clear liquid and some blood. Is this normal?...
My takedown date is June 2nd...
After step 3 of the j pouch procedure were you able to go back to normal life? Is there any restraints on anything you do after you leave the hospital and start going to the bathroom out your rectum...
I'm gonna have step 3 of 3 done soon and was wondering if after the surgery you're running to the bathroom right away for awhile or if it's more tameable than that. Also, i pass liquid mucus through...
I have about a month and 10 days left until my take down procedure but the burning and itching creates excruciating pain and inconvenience and I need to do something to get me through the next month....
Is this during the pre op? Or on a different day prior to the surgery...
Did any of you have to get an appointment after step 2 to see how the Jpouch was forming inside? For some reason I feel like I heard you get an appointment for something that goes in your butt that...
So I will be having my last surgery (the take down) in a couple months but wanted to know what to expect. I heard this surgery is a piece of cake and the easiest to go through of all three. Is this...
Well that sounds like a dehydration issue, not a food problem...
I didn't have any stomach ache problems after step one but after this step 2 surgery, stomach aches/pains are very consistent and I can't seem to eat as much either or else the pain gets worst the...
I'm having a yellow substance and some blood. No smell or infection signs though. I was giving a staple remover and don't have a problem doing it myself, I took out a few but seems like it's...
It's been about 2 weeks since my surgery. My staples are supposed to come out by now but my incision seems to be opening at certain spots of the 7 inch incision. It's leaking blood and a yellow...
Is this a problem? I haven't tried drinking but I was wondering if drinking alcohol after the second surgery is a problem with dehydration or anything. Thanks in advance!...
The pain is very vague, is blood normal? I have blood in the toilet and on the toilet paper after pushing out the substance...
Is this common? I have both pain and a moving turning sensation in my anus area. I know they remove the rectum after the second surgery but I wasn't told about this possible pain in this area. Any...
I have no experiences with these belts. Do they make a difference? What is the best thing that you get out of wearing a belt? And also if the belt is applying pressure on the stoma how is gas and...
I was prescribed Oxy. 10-20mg. What did you take?...
About how long does the surgical pain linger for?...
Just got home from surgery number 2. Woah boy what a difference in pain. The pain difference is about 5x the amount from surgery #1. Spent about 4 days in the hospital and was sent home on oxys. The...
About how long are you in the operating room for during step 2 of 3 of the J pouch procedure, and about how long did you have to stay in the hospital for afterwards? Thanks in advanced!...
Thank you for your reply BBUC. I'll uodate after my surgery next Tuesday....
Thanks you everybody for your support and kind words, and also for answering my question nososicklygirl. I'll update after the surgery....
Some of you may remember me. My disease wouldn't respond to any medications so eventually I went to Cleveland to remove my large intestine and ultimately removing the disease. That was step 1 of 3...
Some of you may remember me by posting nonstop questions in this forum during a time of desperate need of answers. My disease wouldn't respond to any medications so eventually I went to Cleveland to...
What makes the loop ileo more difficult to manage than the regular stoma I have now? Sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the replies though....
So the loop is different than what I have now? Right now I have a stoma with a bag....
What is the loop ileo exactly?...
I have a couple questions if you guys could help me out with I had my 1st surgery on November 23rd and everything has gone well since, I go next week back to Cleveland for a follow up. My questions...
Thanks for the replies guys!...
Almost like a grassy or spinach like color. Not sure why this occurs, I've had the surgery a little over a month now. Can caffein cause this? My stoma has been normally active, I've noticed a blood...
I'm having pain right on the stoma. When I touch it it hurts, almost feels bruised. Anyone else have relatable pain on the intestine itself? I feel sudden pains even when I don't touch it but...
Just got rid of UC and my inflammation markers were at 53, I just had the test redone and it is now 129!! That's not a typo, I expected it to finally be in the normal range and it more than doubled....
Three week post op, step 1 of 3 j pouch surgery complete. They say no skins or nuts or salad. Does anyone have problems with things like this? Like a slim Jim or pepperoni, nuts, or a salad? I've...
Just figured i would update for anyone that was following my long and exhausting journey. As you know I had the surgery, I'm home now and it's been about 3 weeks post op. I feel good, I have a few...
Just got home today. Surgery went well and I'm handling food well. I have consistent gas pain throughout the day. Idk if this goes away in time or what but whenever my stoma is gonna pass gas I know...
Thanks for the replies. The pain is still there, seems gas related. I'm passing stool through the bag and some gas but it just feels like every time I eat, drink or sometimes doing neither I have the...
I'm having a lot of stomach pain and hearing a lot grumbling noises. I think it's trapped gas. I can't seem to expel it through my stoma, any suggestions on how to get rid of the gas? Also I feel a...
I posted this in the UC forum as well but I figured it belongs here too. It's day 3 post operation. My surgery went good and I've been handling soft foods pretty well. My heart rate is still high...
They are still emptying that for me because I can't really move and do much myself, plus they wanna measure and check consistency of the bowel. It's a little disturbing the whole bag aspect of...
Day 2 after my surgery and I handled soft foods pretty well. My heart rate is still high actually, about 130 at rest and they're trying to figure out why and how to lower it. I have the typical post...
Surgery went well, my joint pain and muscle pain pretty much deminished right after the surgery which blew my mind. My heart rate lowered and my blood pressure got better. All my vitals looked better...
I haven't taken remicade since October 5th so my next would be December 5th which I obv won't be doing...
I always speak up, I've told every nurse and Doctor the same thing and they just say that it's probably from the colitis which will ease off with the surgery. Yes I've been on remicade, last dose...
6th day of Cleveland and I still can't walk. My ankles are swollen, my bones and muscle are giving me the worse pain I've ever felt. I feel like my bones are broken, I can't walk or stand because of...
