I am not knew to the loop iliostomy, this is my second one since 2012. So my question is a concern but I do know it is somewhat normal but not sure about the following...
I am 2 weeks post op and as usual and with what I experienced with my first loop I have been passing mucous from the bottom. Sometimes it looked a little more like stool color but still watery. BUT today from morning until now I just had my 6 bout of diareah from down there. I mean "oh my goodness I need to run to the bathroom diareah and lots of it at a time. Output has slowed down just a bit in my bag since this started but still having watery output. My bottom is not getting the rest my surgeon wanted, that is for sure. It seems a little out of the normal and most of all a lot for having a diverted iliostomy.
Like I said I know a little is the normal because it's a loop but... ? Anyone experience this and should I be bringing this up to my surgeon sooner than my scheduled appointment which is in a week?
