Successful Parastomal Hernia Repair with Moldable Wafer

Had hernia repair 10-30-13. Skin around stoma had dips making fit of wafer impossible for any length of time. Skin breakdown was horrible. Ordered ConvaTec Moldable wafer as a free sample. IT WORKS! First Moldable wafer put on Sat afternoon and she's doing fine! So excited! (doesn't take much huh!). Will monitor the new equipment before ordering if need be. Go for follow up 12-17 so if equipment doesn't work, I can see the WOCN while there. Keep me and 'Mary' in your thoughts as I'm sure many have experienced this challenge. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL

Skidder, I had my first stomal revision/hernia repair in Nov.'07. We didn't expect it to solve my blockages.  When the blockages started up again, 3 surgeries followed but these were laproscopic with mesh.  On 27 May'11, the 3rd laproscopic surgery worked fantastically and I've been symptom free since.  These surgeries were in on Friday morning and home by noon on Saturday with no pain and very few stitches!
