Reply to "K-Pouch Mucosal Prolapse"

hi all--i'd like to circle back to the initial topic of mucosal prolapse.  i think that's my current problem.  it all started with my hernia/valve repair surgery on 13 dec.  since immediately after the surgery the inside part of the stoma episodically protrudes out of the stoma.  the opening to the valve lies flat with my tummy, and intubation is easy.   but the rest of the stoma, which is at least 75% of it, spills out--to be graphic.  at times it protrudes out about an inch.  i can push it back in, and at times it stays for awhile.   whether or not the pouch is full doesn't appear to effect whether it prolapses.  i started to wear an abdominal support for extra protection.  wrote to the stoma nurse, but the east coast is experiencing a wonderful snow storm--a bombbogenesis here in boston.  loving it! 

anybody have a suggestion?  thanks, janet
