Hope everyone is doing well. Did any of you sustain an injury like a hernia or pulling your abdominal muscle while you had your ileostomy bag? I know with a stoma it wouldn't be that difficult to get injured. I don't have massive swelling or anything, but it just doesn't feel right. I've looked at photos online of people with stoma's having hernias and I don't look anything like that. Not sure how bad this would impact the second stage of the three surgeries coming up in a few weeks. I have an appointment with my surgeon, but I was wondering if any of you had experienced something like this and what was the outcome. It's been a long 4 months time between the first and upcoming second surgery, so this really sucks that this happened. Hopefully I don't get bad news when I see my surgeon this week. Thanks
