I've been stoma-tized since 2016. At that time, my surgeon recommended I see him annually for the first couple of years. In 2018, he suggested "occasional" visits with my gastroenterologist just to make sure everything remained functioning well. The gastro. doc suggested I undergo a "scoping" of my stoma just to make sure everything was okay. Has anyone here done this procedure? - Particularly if there are no issues to report? Many thanks for any insight and/or recommendations. - Silveradokid.
