Hello everyone!  I just had my surgery this past September...  I have crohns' disease and i perforated.  May have to have ostomy for life..  anyway, I am experiencing a lot of swelling around the stoma..my stomach is very hard and bloated where the stoma is, and I always have a watery output.  Anyone else having this issue?

    Hi Remi,

    It could be that you have a partial blockage - you should check in with your stoma nurses who will be able to help you and reassure you. 

    Take care,

    Linda :-)
