Went to the ER last night with the worst sharp stabbing pains ever right

below my boobs in center where my new stoma is. I had pulled my G tube out that following morning due to it not wanting to come out at the surgeons office when he removed my staples on July 15th. Surgeon said that it would either fall out in a couple of days or to twist it and pull slowly to see if I couldn't get it out. I did yesterday morning and felt fine. As the day progressed I started having cramps than severe pain where my stoma is. My DH took me to the ER because I would not stop passing out and was in excruciating pain. They did a Cat scan and said that when my G tube was pulled out it had some tissue on the end and that tissue ripped and started bleeding into my stoma. The doctor that I saw spoke directly to the protege' of my doctor and she said she didn't seem to worried about it. She said that it would drain into my intestines and (not to be to graphic) come out of my stool as dark black blood. Which it has at least 7x. And it is almost all liquid black blood not solid black blood. They sent me home 4 hrs after I got there and said to just wait it out. Today I feel very week and dizzy. I have slight pain not severe where my stoma is and have a bloody BM every hr. or so. Has this ever happenend to anyone? Please let me know I am very scared. I just wish right now I could take back the surgery. I can't raise my 2yr old daughter now at all. I feel like I'm going to die from this. Thanks to everyone. Audrey
