Does anyone with an ostomy have an inflamed pancreas?

I developed pancreatitis about 45 days after my resection. It was most likely due to the fact that my surgeon nicked my pancreas while attempting to save my life. It cost me another couple of weeks in the hospital and more surgery to try to repair the damage.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!
Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.
This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!

Thank you for your reply. Did you have to take Creon, an enzyme, to absorb your food? What test diagnosed the pancreatic issue?
