New kock pouch, sudden complication. Please help!

I am new to my kock pouch, just a week post-op with catheter still in. I’m still inpatient.

a few times in the last few days I passed gas out my stoma (not through my catheter), but then today I passed gas and some liquid stool (it’s bile), through it. Not a lot, maybe a tablespoon (hard to say because some was soaked by gauze). Stoma nurse said it can happen since the valve is being held open and lots of pressure builds. Haven’t talked to the surgeon yet (hardly see him and just see his resident).

did this happen to anyone with their catheter in? I cannot stand the thought of a failed valve already. I’ve already been through so, so many surgeries this past two years…
