Post-op bleeding?

[LivDee 12]

Hello. I am one day post op and I am experiencing recital bleeding. Has this happened to anyone? I’ve been in contact with my doctor and am following his orders. Just curious to hear someone else’s experience.

Not as such but my first bowel movement (awful diarrhoea) about 3 days after my surgery was very dark & smelly with old blood from the surgery but that was all. If your blood is bright red & it is persisting contact your surgeon again or go to a medical centre to be sure everything is ok.

Thanks for sharing. It is very dark and smells bad. I was told to keep an eye on my blood pressure and hydrate as much as possible and stop the blood thinners.
