Reply to "J pouch removal / Rectal removal"

Richard, 

It can seep for quite a while...I know that it seems like a lot but a couple of tablespoonsful of liquid feels like gallons!

Every surgery, I collect fluids behind my scars (infection? just clear or pinkish liquid sometimes)...rarely a massive infection but usually just seepage.

I won't say that it is nothing but I will say that if it isn't thickish, greenish, yellowish or smelly than it is less dangerous. 

Some of us just build pockets of fluids and as long as they come out, we are fine, if they build up and do not escape then it is worse. You end up with abscesses and that is not good at all. 

Keep changing those pads, taking the antibiotics and do not overdo it...Avoid sitting on hard surfaces for too long or on things that are too soft. You might find that an ice pack wrapped in a towel or old t-shirt applied to the area can relieve the pain or pressure.
