Reply to "permanent ileostomy problems--terrified to get the surgery"

A well constructed end ileostomy tends to be quite symmetric, since the thing being attached to the skin is circular. The shape of a loop ileostomy tends to be asymmetric, exiting from the side of a loop of bowel. Even if the loop ileostomy looks circular the tensions may be uneven at different points along the circumference.
