I had colostomy surgery in April 2021. The surgeon requested an appointment with the General Surgery Dept. - Hernia Clinic in September of that year. However, due to COVID, I have just recently had sessions with the surgeon. My hernia surrounds the stoma and is about the size of a grapefruit and has just recently spread to the side of my body. Before I make a decision regarding major hernia surgery, I would like some feedback from those who have had this surgery - the pros and cons, the recovery period, etc. Thank you.
