Welcome, @ljk200.
I moved your message to this existing discussion:
- Any suggestions on dealing with an incisional hernia with an ostomy?https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/incisional-hernia-1/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with fellow members who have has colon surgery like @jbcisandi1 @sher99 @kenc @msgtrebholtz @dancing1 and more.

Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications after abdominal surgery.
