Does your surgeon know about the blood? This does not sound right to me. I don't want to alarm you but you might be bleeding from your intestine being re-routed. I think I would get to the emergency room fast.

Absolutely! Back to the hospital and do it now! Don't wait.

This is serious. Life threatening.
 
Me too.

This could be something as simple as a bleeding hemorrhoid. But lets be sure about it.

Hopefully, you have gone back to ER preferably where you had your surgery.

I was going to ask, Is it fresh red blood? OR Are you having sticky tarry stools?

Either way head back to the ER like right now. Either or go now.

I'd rather find out I have an irritated bottom or hemorrhoids than risk having major issues going on..
 
If you are dealing with any type of bleeding I would contact my surgeons office. This sounds serious. Please let us know how you are doing.
