I have a prolapsed stoma (ileostomy); my doctors/nurses say it's fairly mild. My stoma works normally; it's just very long from top to bottom, and I hate the way it looks. My doctor says he'll do the surgery if I really want it done. My wife thinks it's a waste, and she feels I should wait until my doctor's recommendation is that it's time to do it. I'm curious as to whether anyone here has had the surgery and, if so, how were the results...
