About the first time of going to the " toliet" After the op!

Yuk! Scarey and disgusting all at once! Luckly i kind of guessed it was alll the left over stuff from the op but please!!!! I wish the doc had warned me first

Maybe you can warn all of us pre-opers. Hope your doing better now

Couldn't agree more, juditha! I Iiterally did not make it to the restroom in time and was mortified because I had to have my hubby help me clean up as I couldn't make the necessary movements to do so myself yet! Uggghhh!

I would have died! Luckily for me it was an hour before i left hospital for a three plus hour drive home!! Im sure it must scare alot of post op people

Couldn't agree more... I was home but I was pretty shocked. Glad you were able to make that drive home "safely"

Surgery 7/25/12

I did not have any bathroom issues like you are describing. I wonder what the difference was in our procedures. Bathrooom issues have plaqued me since surgery though, from diarehea to major constipation at various times, but nothing I could connect to the actual surgery. Colace twice a day is now helping, thank goodness for that.

Sorry to be descriptive but im talking about the gungky black/red stufff (i wont even mention the smell!!) which i imagine is left over blood from the op. it was such a shock... At first i was worried but logic set in.....

Nope I never had anything like that... I guess I was just lucky

Thanks for the heads up, because I am also 3 hours from surgery site! I will have to remember this!

I didnt have that issue. However when i made that first trip to tge bathroom the tiny little bit of substance i left behind i was like wtf where did that come from!?! Nothing but gatoraid and broth lol

Yuck!! Lol

I'm with ladensmommy. I was just happy to finally go.
