Hey gang,

Today marks exactly five weeks post op (have a new K pouch) and I'm still having pain, lots of it! I thought I'd be pain free by now, yet I'm still having pain, is this normal? The pouch is working fine, produces a normal amount of mucus, but still bleeds a lot. Anyone have the same problem? Just curious, thanks for letting me whine!

Cheers,
Eric Eeker

Eric,
You still have an idy bidy baby pouch and it is going to have to stretch and find its place in your abdomen...your organs are settling down as well so it is going to hurt, occassional sharp pains, pulling pains as things grow and stitches stretch, crampy pains and gassy pains..all normal. The bleeding should be tapering down by now and soon be over but you may be suffering from anemia...make sure that you have sufficient suppliments to support your healing process.
Usually advil or tylenol should help sufficiently...you shouldn't need anything stronger by now so hang in there and be patient.
Sharon
