Possible leak after resection with temp ileostomy?

Thanks Paul, I’m scheduled for a CT scan with contrast. The pain is a little better each day, so I think this is probably just fluid built up after the surgery.

Please update us after your scan. A leak can be hard to detect, but it’s a good sign that you don’t have a fever and pain is decreasing. You’re fairly recent from surgery, and it is a painful recovery. I’m four years out from my first surgery as of tomorrow so there is light at the end of the tunnel
