About two weeks after permanant ilesostomy surgery my stoma started prolapsing. I wasn't warned anything about the possibility of this happening by my surgeon or anyone else as far as that goes. It happens often when I have been up just walking around the house, but when I lay down it retracts after a while. It prolapses up to about four inches, I always lay down when it gets that long, I don't know how long it would protrude if I didn't lay down. Does anyoneone have the same problem, and how long have you been dealing with it? Thanks for your responce. Have a blessed day in the Lord Jesus Christ.
