I need some help . I had a big hernia and a small one . My intestines was getting caught in my hernia and making a block . I asked my doctor to fix it , and she didn't want to . I don't know why . Anyway the last time my intestines got caught up in my hernia my doctor cut 6 inches off my stoma hoping it would be short enough that this wouldn't happen any more . Which she didn't tell me till after it was done . And when she put it back in she didn't do it right . Now my stoma is barely comes up above my skin and sometimes below my skin level . Which now I am having big trouble with leaks . I went to the hospital to the stoma nurses to show how bad my skin was burned so they could help me to talk to my doctor to redo it . They told me that it was a hard thing for the doctor to do and they didn't want to do it on less I spend all kinds of money trying out everything and if it didn't work that maybe the doctor would fix it . The thing is I don't have money to do this . I am afraid that sooner or later I will not have any money to buy what I need . I am hoping someone can help me some how with this problem . My skin is burned up bad . It is kind of black around the stoma . Also to let you know after that she fixed the hernia . I hope someone can here can help me . Thank you all for your time .
