J tube removal issues: Anyone have a fistula?

@goldenshadow it was in the intestines. I just saw wound care today and apparently there is a fistula that formed which is allowing drainage from the intestines to exit through the wound. Trying some new bandages and thoroughly cleaned it out, so hoping that will allow it to close up and heal.

Mine kept healing from the top down then after a couple of days would reopen after it started to back up into my abdomen. The timeframe keeps getting shorter, it has done this 3 times, which is why surgery is my only option. I have been going to wound care for 7 months and they have been great but its just not healing.

@bluedog35, how are you doing? Is the wound healing?
