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?

Hi Hatlady and all,
I've had my ostomy for over 50 years, since I was a kid, and didn't think I really needed to be part of the ostomy site. But once active, I came to realize, that although I may not need help at the time, I was able to reach out and help others in need. Back in the day, before stoma therapists, I use to visit new patients in the hospital or homes ... While professionals are great, it is also good to be able to speak with people with personal experience. I was a free member for awhile, but after writing often, I was given free months. I then started paying, and decided to just take lifetime membership. After all, I was going to have my ostomy for the rest of my life. I'm one of those people who can disappear for a few months at a time, but I'm always glad that the site is here, I can return and reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. This is an excellent site ... Best regards to all ... and Best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year.

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.
