Hey guys,

I'm 6 weeks post op... things are starting to finally settle down I think... Knock on wood.

I saw my surgeon yesterday for my follow up and also dilation for a stricture I had (wow, is all I have to say about that)

I just had a bowel movement and noticed some lightly coloured, nearly white stool or what looked like stool. Is it possible it was mucous?

Thanks!

Where did it come out of? We all have mucous in our stool.

It came out of my rear, sorry. No bag anymore.

No worries. Sounds fine. Actually, I hadn't read your profile and wasn't sure if you were male or female. Thinking it could have been your vagina. After I read your profile I see that isn't possible!!! So, happy to report, all is good.

Probably just some mucous. Don't worry about it unless it happens a lot.
