My surgery was 04/10/2017. My rectum was removed and the anal canal was also removed. The anus was stitched up. Today I have some blood and some stool seeping through the anus. I can't figure out how stool could come from there now. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I do not understand. It sounds like you are all sewed up. The incision has not healed; it's time to see the doctor.

I agree, it would be a good idea to call your surgeon or at least your primary care doctor. Give them a call and they can let you know if you should be concerened or not.
Best wishes

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

Yes, please call your surgeon. It's a concern that none of us are qualified to handle.
