Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi Jules, the mucus usually happens when your fill is too tight. Try going on fluids for a few days until things settle down and see how you go and of course have a chat to your DR.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hey Jules How are you mate? Sorry to hear you have had a run of bad luck this year. I have been in for 3 ops this year myself and I will be glad when this year is over because I am hoping that 2009 is a much better one for each and everyone of us. The mucus build up is usually from a overfill and when that is fixed the mucus build up should go away as well. If you are still having problems with it now that the fill has been halved give the doc a call and ask what he thinks maybe you need more fill out until all settles down. If you have been pbing for a while your pouch will be sore and swollen and it needs time to recover. Hope this helps you. Where are you working now? I love my job in St Leonards in May as they sold the business to Westpac. Now not working and I hope to start looking in February for a job. Take care Cheers Mazz > > Hi, Need some advice.
