So I'm about a month post-op from my j-pouch reconstruction surgery. I have a temp iliostomy and I can't remember what it was like the first time around... Ive been having tons of mucus discharge from my j-pouch and I can't control it. It seems like every time I stand up it comes out. I did a search and i know the mucus is normal, but I can't control it. It just sneaks up on me. Will the take-down correct this? I know to expect incontinence for the first little while, but this isn't a sign of a bad sphincter..right??
