Ileostomy Leakage

MeganBMember

Hi, All:

I just had my first surgery almost two weeks ago. I'm still in the hospital as I had a few set backs and ended up back on an NG tube for 4 days a week after surgery. (HATE those things)

I'm finally starting to feel a bit better but I've had constant problems with leakage. My output is very watery right now. My bag seems to last 6 hours before leaking around the wafer. My doctor says my stoma has retracted which is where some of the problem lies. He has now mentioned going back in to try to get the stoma put further! I do not want to go that route. I just need to get this leakage under control. I'm still not on any type of diet but was hoping once I am eating and drinking things may thicken up and not leak so easily.

Any advice to save the day??? Thank you!!

Megan, have you tried a convex waffer? They helped my son when his stoma was under his skin. Also make sure you are getting that inner seal really well. Also there is something to help make the wafer stick better, the name escapes me at the moment.

Thats all all I can think of for now.
