Hi everyone,
I had my surgery on the 21st Nov, resection and temporary ileostomy.
I've had a nightmare with my stoma, which is finally being sorted out, but that's another story!
What my question is, is that I had the rest of my staples out today (they took out every other one last Wednesday).
I've started using a coloplast two piece system, which I changed when I got home as the nurse had to peel back a bit of the baseplate to get to some of the clips and I didn't want to risk it leaking.
I just changed my bag, and I noticed that the incision has been weeping a bit and has made the flange tape around the baseplate go a bit weird. Do you think the edge of the flange will be ok?
I'm going to see my stoma nurse tomorrow anyway, so I'll ask her, but I'll be ok until tomorrow won't I? It's the very outside edge of the flange affected.
Hope that makes sense! Thanks for any advice!
