Reply to "Is there leakage with regular watery stool?"

When I met with each surgeon they all performed a DRE to see what my sphincter tone felt like, as this would be an indicator of the ability to hold in stool between BM s .

they were all satisfied with results and told me I was a good candidate despite being  63 at the time of evaluation.

Right now, I am 60 days out from second takedown. At this point I have a small amount of leakage in the middle of the night, which I am told is not uncommon at this point.

I take an Imodium before bedtime or  around 3 or 4 am  to get thru the night.
