Hi, I am a new member here, but I wanted to ask if someone else might have ended up with a peristomal hernia after receiving a colostomy. I had surgery in 2021 in August and have developed a hernia right behind the ostomy. I have had to make a belt to help relieve some of the pain I'm experiencing and was wondering if anyone else might be having the same problem. If so, I have written up an idea on a belt that I made, and it seems to be helping with the issue. I have copied it into PDF format but don't know where to post it for someone who might need to make one themselves. Could someone please assist me in getting this posted so perhaps somebody can make one that might help with the same type of problem? Thanks.
