Hi myziy .. sorry to hear about your troubles. Unfortunately I have never heard about this. Did you try the on-site ostomy nurse? Maybe she could educate all of us.
Hang in there! And no more lifting tables, ok?

Miyzy,
I lifted the world from every angle you can imagine. I never had a problem with hernia's or "extending" the stoma.
I guess if a person were really flexing their stomach muscles it could put a squeeze on their stoma. It never happened to me. I used to do sit ups with the stoma. Lots of push ups.
Stop and think about it for a second. For a guy making love with a stoma does not seem to be problematic as far as I have ever heard. Well, other than finding a partner this is.
