Anyone had a very diffuse spreading bleb after trabeculectomy?

Has anyone developed a very diffuse bleb after trabeculectomy, spreading round the side of the eye? I had right eye trab 11 weeks ago . Pressure 4 at check up 4 weeks ago. In the last two weeks I've noticed a kind of jelly/membrane in the outer corner of my right eye which overlaps the iris slightly if I look to the right. Today I noticed that there seems to be very slight raised area round side of my pupil, coming down from the bleb. There's no sensation apart from a bit of dampness ( not tears) and maybe slight blur to the right. There is no change to my vision.I have a check up this week so I'll get a diagnosis, but wondering of anyone here can shed any light, please.

yes, I had a jelly like membrane in my eye after a trab, mine was just where fluid had got between the layers of the eye. I sent a photo to the consultant and he said not to worry it would gradually disappear- which it did after a couple of weeks. Hope yours is the same.

Thank you Cornwalleyes. That's reassuring! Mine does seem to vary so I hope it disappears like yours.
