I am 5.5 months post-op with a colostomy. I started out flat and then needed mild convexity skin barriers (wafers) when my sutures came undone and my stoma sunk in on one side (the bottom, of course). I have had a lot of problems with stool post-op, no doubt due to post-op chemo even now that it is finished... Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has gone back from convex to flat. My stoma sticks out well. I am doing the experiment today with a flat skin barrier...
