I had a parastomal hernia repair on 10-30-13. I was released on 11-03-13. The wafer and pouch applied after surgery stayed in place until 11-04-13. Upon removing the surgical equipment, I noticed the stoma was flat with the skin and stool was oozing between the skin and wafer. Question...how long will that remain? Is that normal? What should I use on the skin during this time to alleviate excoriated skin? I will see my doctor and surgeons in the third week of November for my first post-op visit. I would appreciate any and all ideas and comments regarding the above dilemma!
