Any suggestions on dealing with an incisional hernia with an ostomy?
I got my colostomy in June, and got an incisional hernia around October. The hernia is very large and cannot be repaired. I tried a support belt but it didn’t really hold in the hernia. Someone suggested a tight corset or tummy control underwear. I want to hold the hernia in because I can only wear leggings and tunic tops now, but I don’t want to restrict the colostomy. Any suggestions?

Welcome @jbcisandi1, I'm tagging fellow members @candywocrn @engelee and @jstanhill, who may have some suggestions for you.
I'm sorry to hear that the hernia cannot be repaired. Can you share a bit more why the support belt didn't work?
