Hernia or just swollen after reversal?

FredzMember

Had my takedown 3 days ago. The area of my stoma site is really swollen, bulging a little bit out and is very painful to touch. I was wondering if this is normal? I am terrified of having a hernia, I will ask at the hospital next week. Painful to walk.

I had my takedown almost 6 months ago. I do recall that after surgery the area around the stoma was a little swollen and hardened. It took about two months for me, for it to normalize. Like everything else with the j pouch,we just have to be patient with everything. In time I believe you’ll be fine. Hang in there.
