    Hi Bruce~
    Have you tried the UOA.org site? This site has been invaluable to me re: colostomy info. Someone there surely will be able to offer insight.

    Hi Bruce: Have they closed the old stoma and given you a new one? Is the hernia at the site of the old stoma?
    See www.ostomy-winnipeg.ca/woa0100j.html
    & www.wramc.amedd.army.mil/providerinfo/enterostomal/10.htm
    you should be able to copy/paste these urls into your browser..
    UOA and IOA sites are very informative also. Bud
