Rectal bleeding not related to hemroids...is it surgery related?

Does anyone know anything about any type of surgery related complication that might cause excessive rectal bleeding? I'm almost 2 years out, and I don't think I have hemroids (I don't have any pain or itching) but a LOT of bleeding. I just had a baby 11 weeks ago...This is really embarassing, but I want to know if i need to be seen.

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you however I think you need to call your Dr ASAP. Regardless of the cause, rectal bleeding is not normal. God Bless, Phyllis

Hi...Gretchen. I haven't heard from you in a while. You may have a fissure. It is a tear in your rectum. Go see the doctor. You definitely need to be seen. Take care of yourself.

Hey Stephanie! You look beautiful! I was just worried that it might have something to do with the re-routing of intestine. I really don't want to go to a doc...it's so embarrassing! Yeah, I had another baby (a boy finally!) but I haven't felt like being around other post ops since so many are struggling with fertility issues. BTW, scary complications if you get preg too soon after surgery! My placenta died prematurely and I had an emergency c-sect and underweight baby. I can't have any more. (We weren't planning any more) so it's a lesson. The docs know what they are talking about! How are you doing?

You are so sweet. Well, I am pregnant...right at 8 weeks (this week). I waited 18 months after WLS...the recommended amount. I'm sorry you had compications. I hope I don't. How are you? Did you call the Dr?

Gretchen, Stephanie is probably right about it being a fissure...and the only way to heal those up is to have Rx medication....please call the doctor....you never know it....could be more serious than that... Norma
