Can you 'veterans' give me an idea when you stop seeping from your backside?

Had not had any for a while (am at 4.5 months perm post-op) and was very active this past week & weekend.
Wore old-school gray sweat/shorts and ended up with a wet spot outside and some 'stuff' inside.

When you get your butt closed it only seems fair 'closed' means Sorry we're Closed, No Sales, Out of Business, Moved to a New Location.....

Do you still get some output?
How long have you had your ostomy?

Thanks in advance
Eric

Hi Eric,

I had some complications with my j-pouch removal (MRSA) which meant that my wounds took longer to heal but I don't rememebr my anal wound being any worse to deal with than my other wounds. Once the wound had closed I have had no leakage whatsoever from it.

I do know that one of our members (Marriedguy)had leakage for a very long time though so you might want to PM him. Here's a link to the thread he started on this site:

If you are worried I would give your suregon a ring to put him in the picture, if only to put your mind at rest.

Hopefully this is something and nothing.

Take care

Coach,
I have similar drainage. My surgeon said it is still a living organ that produces mucous and must drain. My red flag is when the drainage is bloody and frequent. I think a phone call to the surgeon's nurse might help.

I thought when you got a perm ileo, they sew up your anus opening . . .

I have a end (perm illeo) with no cuff but rear is open ... Get little mucus in morning and a bit at night .. not more then a quatersize But you can have end illeo with rear open

Thanks for the replies.

Not worried, no blood, just mucous-y,
was more surprised-Thought I had my 'final liquidation sale' down there 1-2 months ago.

One side of my mind said '(oh-my-gosh), you had an accident on the football field, can they tell, can they tell' LOL
the other side said 'I thought having the OST meant i was done with this (stuff)'
Thought it might be due to increased activity.

Played/coached basketball last night and dry as the Sahara.

Jason-been getting some hockey 'lessons' before Andy starts Hockey to learn the rules/penalties, us city boys didn't get to play on the ice.
Andy's thinking of donning the JaPa doo-rag under his helmet .....
