Reply to "Just had surgery for K Pouch & revision of valve"

Aggie,
I had a full day of leaks yesterday...started after a water aerobics class and continued until later last night...seems that my pouch flopped up and over during an over strenuous movement...everything that went in poured out so I kept emptying every chance I got ( luck would have it that I was out all day)...it seems to have flopped back into place today because I have very liquid output and no leaks...a twisted or flopped over pouch can do that to you...make sure that your doc knows it when he is examining you.
It reminded my how very stressful it all is.
When I am in leak mode I stick a full panty liner onto the inside of my undies and then add a folded up Kleenex or paper towel over the stoma to absorb the leakage...the panty line protects my clothing from those nasty stains and I just throw out the soiled paper towel as needed.
Don't forget to keep yourself clean, dry and bacteria free or you will get red-rashy burn on and around your stoma and tummy.
