Just had surgery Questions ?

[Trish22]

Had my surgery last Tuesday,got home Monday, have a 23cm scar which the staples will be removed this Friday,I am still feeling bloated after a meal the last couple of days,although saying that,I am getting the Diarrhoa about every 1.5 hours constantly,even through the night,although surgeon did say that should get better,My lips have all broke out with cold sores,although surgeon says they are trauma damage through the pipes they put in your mouth,and last but not least I now have ulcers on my tongue,have to go back to see surgeon in about 4-6 weeks,has anyone else felt this this post surgery,bearing in mind I have only had it done last Tuesday 9th July
By the way I had an Ileo resection re-do,It says on my letter I have 140cms of small bowel remaining,Eeekkkkk

Hi Ive had 2 bowel resections and i can honestly say ive been fine. I take tablets to stop going to toilet because of the shortness of bowels. Im on Aza at mo trying to delay a 3rd resection due to scar tissue.
Hope you pick up soon

Thanks for your reply,Don't get me wrong I feel ok,just bloated still after food,I have to wait until I go back and see surgeon I think before resuming back to my azathioprine,which I know they are going to do,I did mention Loperamide because of the amounts of time I go to the toilet but they said I have to give the bowel chance to settle down first.

Was on Questran but been withdrawn just been put on lopermide. The questran was horrible to take but i did Lopermide much better hopefully so long as im careful not to get constipated cause of my stricture, But had itchy skin which is getting worse and had a rash for 2 days now. Waiting for IBS nurse to get back to me wondering if its the Azathioprine
