Hello, has anyone had liquid trapped in the body cavity that won't come out? I had an ileostomy reversal on November and everything seemed to be going well until some real foul-smelling brown stuff began coming out of the wound. I went back to hospital and have been here two weeks while they try to get it out of me. Initially I was worried they would have to operate again, but now after all this time I wish they had, because the drain tubes they installed don't seem to be working. I'm feeling pretty helpless and there is nothing I can do but wait and endure this torture. Maybe that's too dramatic, but it doesn't seem like rocket science to suck this stuff out of me. One surgeon said it will re-absorb into my body, and I could go home soon, but now they want to insert larger tubes....
