Sorry you're going through such a hard time!! I don't have any advice for you unfortunately, but wanted you to know that someone is rooting for you...I hope you get it sorted out and get to feeling better soon!
 
NannaJ girl...Jamie. I have a HONKING parastomal hernia. I'm looking a good 7-8 months pregnant in fact. On my tiny frame it's ghastly!

Only option is surgery. But I understand it isnt always successful. Will they be doing a reversal on you at some point? Because they are going to wait till I have my reversal done. Also, there are support garments you can order for hernias. Ask your stoma nurse for advice on this. It can at least tide you over for the time being if they wont do surgery yet on you.
