Hi. I'm new to the site. I've had my ileostomy for about 12 years now and this is the first time I've ever reached out to a support site or anything. I'm kinda nervous. I don't know why. But I have a question. Has anyone ever had their stoma moved like an inch??? I've been very fortunate not to have any problems except for obstructions after the birth of my son. But that was corrected thankfully. But when I first got it, it wasn't supposed to be permanent and they never measured or talked about location. So it's right at my pant line. And my pants always rub against it and cover it. Therefore, I leak because it has nowhere to go. I REALLY want to move it like an inch down. I just want it below my pant buckle, not in line with it. But I am scared of how hard recovery that would be. Anyone here had it moved slightly just for comfort????
