This topic is about someone who is undergoing outpatient surgery to revise their stoma. The surgeon is optimistic about fixing the stoma and will also attempt to repair a parastomal hernia if possible. The person is hopeful and expects to return home the same day.

Here are some updates and insights shared by the person:

1. After the surgery, they returned home the same day and are experiencing some gas and a little stool passing into the Convatec 2-piece pouch provided by the hospital.

2. They did not receive any supplies to take home, so they reached out to a Convatec nurse. A sample of a new option and a welcome-home packet for post-revision surgery are being sent to them.

3. Pain is minimal and is being managed with a low dose of oxycodone. They plan to start taking Miralax at dinner to keep the output soft.

4. They feel steady on their feet but are a bit sleepy.

5. The parastomal hernia was not repaired because it wasn't causing any issues and would have required more cutting, which would have made recovery more difficult.

6. The goal of the surgery is to have the revised stoma protrude better, allowing the peristomal skin to heal properly.

Advice and encouragement from the community include:

- Take your time to rest and recover slowly and comfortably.
- Community members are sending their support and hope that the revision resolves the issues quickly and with minimal discomfort.
