Hi\I have just had a "stoma' hernia repair, and I was horified to see the end result, my stoma seems to be inverted where as prior to the op was a nice protruding bud...I am praying that once the swelling is down that it will be back to normal.....I had it repaired as it was casuing the stoma to invert and the "pooh" would then leak under the wafer....sometimes it is better to let sleeping dogs ly than to fix........needless to say it is very painful but Dr says 2 weeks then will be OK has also prescribed a "hernia support belt" that i must wear once healed daily for 5 weeks to help stregthen the tummy muscles....
