Hi all! I am going to have my ostomy revision soon. It's too low, and when I stand up, it pulls in and below the surface. Kind of a pain to deal with. I plan on having it moved up and made an outie. My surgeon says that I can go above or below the belt line, as I don't want it on the belt line. I am wondering what experiences and opinions are out there so maybe I can have a better idea of placement. Thanks to everyone for sharing!
