Went to empty pouch (sometimes able to stand up and release into bowl - lol) either lifted too high or pulled? Tore pouch near seal (Hollister) - thought it was flange, so changed everything and cleaned up. Later back in the bathroom to check the flange adhesive and again I think I lifted too high and POP, this time noticed it was just pouch not flange, changed and wondering why?? (Old Hollister pouches) just with roll/lock. Be careful next time releasing!!! Good thing I did laundry yesterday and was at home!! Due to stomach surgery, there's any kind of skin roll under stoma!!! - will see family doctor next week, surgeon in 2 weeks. Hate to gain weight and make this skin roll worse!! - just freaking weird!! Again glad I'm at home.
