Hi everyone .I had a loop Stoma in place for 3months now and not a problem.Then 1 started to get bigger .My Stoma nurse told me that It was a Prolapse ...As I have been told that if would not remove as it's going to come back . In 3 months time I have to discuss having my Stoma reversed .??
Hi Aldan
I wasn't sure from your post whether you were looking for others who had had a prolapse in their stoma or others who have had their stoma reversed.
If it's the former then I've found these posts which mention a prolapse for you to have a read through. If it's the latter then clicking here will take you to lots of posts which mention it.
All the best

I went in to see my Stoma nurse .She calmed me down and explained how it goes on to my husband and I . That was last Thursday leave it with me she said With in 6hours all appointments have been brought forward till 2\2 Surgeon will see what's best thing for me .I'll keep in touch. Thanks
That's great news Aldan! I do think the various specialist nurses are worth their weight in gold. When I was diagnosed with melanoma I had so many questions that I hadn't thought of when I was first told and so many worries flooding my brain. I made an appointment to see my SCNS (skin cancer nurse specialist) and, like yours, she was able to answer all my questions and help me put things in to perspective.
All the best for Tuesday
