I have had an ileostomy for over 40 years and consider myself pretty well-versed in dealing with issues as they arise. I would not consider myself overweight and in fact have lost a few pounds over the past year. Recently, I have been having difficulty with leakage. Fatty deposits above my stoma have produced a noticeable bulge and resulted in some adherence issues, hence the leakage. The stoma is on the right side, where the bulge is evident. The left side of my stomach does not have this bulge. Has anyone used lipo to successfully remove fat around the stoma or otherwise successfully dealt with a like issue? If so, I would appreciate your feedback.
