Hi there, just a quick one for you guys . I’ve had a colostomy stoma and it’s now been reversed on the 6th of March this year , has anyone else got a bulge either side of there main scar ( mines from chest to pubic area) that looks like a bum cheek!! I’m 9 weeks post reversal and still in a lot of pain and really hate the look of my stomach. I’m 43 year old male who had/has bowel cancer..

    Hi Lee75

    Welcome to the community, hopefully you’ll get support here for your current situation. 

    I’m an ileostomy patient so haven’t got the experience you need but I would say that seeking advice from your GP would be a good starting point. 

    What you’re describing could be a hernia. It might not be but I’d say get it checked out to be sure. 

    Take care

    Cassie
