I recently changed appliances because my prior appliances were too small for the stoma. I have now been using these new two-piece appliances but have found it to be extremely frustrating. The appliances do not properly fit the stoma. This may be because my surgery was performed 25 years ago and maybe the appliances are different today. I would like to know if anyone else is having this same issue. As a result of the improper fit, the area around the stoma is red, sore, and very uncomfortable/sometimes painful.
