drainage from wound after j-pouch removal

Sean NYMember

Hi, I had my j-pouch removed on the 29th of last month. Been home for 2 1/2 weeks and every day I have drainage from my rear incision. Soaks through pads and absorbant material quickly. I start a new job on Monday. How soon will this end?

Sean,

Please don't rush your recovery period. You mentioned that you will be starting a new job today. After my surgery I had a recovery period of eight weeks, so please take it real easy on the new job. Your body is healing from the inside out, so you will probably experience leakage for several more weeks. Keep plenty of pads or gauze available and change frequently. Keep the area relatively clean but treat it very gently. You'll be fine; don't worry--patience.
