Hi All,
Just wanted to say my surgery went well. I am feeling so much better today. I have a clear looking gel "bowel movements?" however at times and a lot of gas.I also do have normal bowel movement. Is this normal now and how long does this last? Also any idea on how long the slight blood discharge will be going on?

Thank you for your response. Funny you say ky LOL that is almost a perfect way to describe what the jel looks like.No it does not look like mucous which is odd I will call my doc tomorrow to ask about it.Weird...Yes the spotting is a brownish color. I am so happy that to be done with surgery now to get past the recovery and back to work. I hate being home. Not used to doing nothing and it is driving me crazy but I will continue to take it easy as I do not want any set backs.
God Bless.

Hi Sweetpea....glad your feeling better.. for the trapped gas best thing is to walk...just do circles around main floor of house...the gas will work its way out should have by now ..also laying on left side helps.
I think you for sure should ask doc about those bms...could be from meds. by gel do you mean mucous?
the slight blood charge should be slowing by now is it changing color should be brownish...old blood.
You may find that you spot a bit here and ther for a few months..most women do just on a occasion natures way of getting rid of what did not come out or was trapped in surgery,,,and or hormones adjusting..vaginal tissue is thinner,sex may cause some bleeding...many women find ky jelly usefull for first several times. Of corse you need to be certain dr says its ok to be intimate again..usually 6 weeks is the norm but always ask dr after any surgery, of female sort.
just try to remember 11 days is not that long...you feel good probably look good..but your insides where you cannot see probably dont look so good, rest is the very best thing you can do for yourself to heal best ,
hugs
