Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice and experiences from individuals who have undergone ostomy revision surgery. The original poster had an ostomy surgery due to cancer, and is experiencing difficulties with their stoma being flush to the skin, leading to issues like leaking, blowouts, and painful skin. They are seeking information on the recovery process, hospital stay duration, and general expectations for ostomy revision surgery.

Advice and Insights:
- Use a convex appliance, a seal, and a spray-on/wipe-on barrier liquid to improve the seal and protect the skin around the stoma.
- Consider using a belt with the convex appliance for added support.
- Look into irrigation if there is enough large intestine left, as it can eliminate the need to empty a bag.
- Ostomy revision surgery involves pulling out the stoma and restitching it, which can be a relatively short and safe procedure, typically requiring a one-day hospital stay.
- Irrigation involves giving oneself an enema through the stoma, which can eliminate the need for a bag and allow the use of a stoma patch/cap.
- Stay hydrated to prevent stoma retraction, and consider wearing a belt for added support.
- Recovery time after ostomy revision surgery varies, with some individuals able to resume normal activities within a few days, while others may need one to two weeks for physical activities.
- Consider using honeydew washers and a 2-piece convex appliance for managing a small stoma.
- Be prepared for the possibility that ostomy revision surgery may not always resolve the issues, as it may not make a significant difference in some cases.
