Hi: I have swelling on my abdomen on the side with my stoma. It is tender to the touch. I am going to see the surgeon tomorrow, but, has anyone had this before?
Thank you
Pray for Peace, Hana

I am having swelling above my stoma right now. It has been going on for about a month but have not gone to the doctor. I would be curious to hear what the doctor said to you about this.

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.
