Hi everyone,
Just had radical cystectomy hysterectomy and removal of many lymph nodes. I’m now 1 week post surgery and developed ileus yesterday. I’m doing fine with my ileostomy my drains are still draining a lot of blood but my surgeon says this is because I had to get a lot of lymph nodes removed anyway.
I also have an infection I’m on IV antibiotics and I’ve been nauseated. I had been trying to eat soft diet but yesterday I vomited 3 large green bile vomits so I’m now on IV fluids and medications and only sips water allowed.
Just asking for what helped anyone here on getting over this. The drs have said ileus is very common after major surgery.
