Can anyone tell me if its okay to wear a girdle when you have a stoma. My hernia is getting quite big and causing discomfort :( I am having reversal surgery on August 8, 2017 but until then I was wondering if wearing a girdle will cause problems to my stoma :( When I have a girdle on the hernia feels better however I don't want to cause injury to the stoma. I've tried a belt but it doesn't offer much support. Any suggestions would be appreicated :)
