Has anyone experience dark stool and or stool with blood in it after surgery I've already spoke to Dr on call and was told to go to the ER if the condition worse or just wait to follow up appointment on Thursday.

If it were me and remember I say if it were me , one more sign of any blood and I would go into the ER grab somebody's face and say what's going on here you have to be your own advocate. Listen to me I've had nothing but complications since my surgery including an ulcer I'm dealing with now. I am feeling better and these things can happen just remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil so watch things carefully.

If it were me, I would go to the ER. If something is wrong it's better to catch it early than let it get worse. If it's nothing at least you would have the peace of mind. Dark stool can be a symptom of some serious complications!

Update. Went to doctor & he stated that it could be blood thst got in digestive tract during surgery & is just now passing . Did have blood work done to be sure . Also he stated if it was a bright red like strawberries or tomato to come back. Meanwhile I just monitoring it. No blood as of last week however.
