I saw some reading how Ostomy folks are more likely to get a hernia than most non osties. Well, how do you know this? Pain? Bulging at the site? I do have something resembling a boob growing at the site. The right side is much larger than the left. It's not tender nor giving me pain but damn is it gonna happen? As a mechanic, I don't even think about hurting myself but am getting older, and perhaps reckless thinking it ain't gonna happen to me. Of those here experienced with a stoma and a hernia, do tell, how'd you know? What did you do to cause it? How'd you fix it? Thanks.
