Visit ET nurse tomorrow - it's been a year since the anniversary of my ileostomy - I have gained 25 lbs since. I had 6 major surgeries, unknown to me because I went into a coma for 3 weeks, but now I have the largest stomach hernia ever!!! The ileostomy is just above this scar (skin graft on a 10x12 inch stomach). With the weight gain, the flange curves, hoping to find a better fitting appliance!!
