Hello everyone, I'm having my stoma relocated from my right side to my left. I've had 3 revisions on my current stoma and now developed a hernia that is causing me a lot of pain. I was wondering if anyone has had this surgery before? My doctor said he doesn't use a big incision on my stomach but rather just creates the new hole and pulls the intestines out and creates a new stoma. Will the old stoma site be an open wound? How long were you in the hospital and how long till you guys were fully recovered? Thank you
