Hi guys,

I wondering if anyone else ran into this problem. I had radical cystectomy and illeal conduit. While cleaning my stoma, a bunch of the stent came out about 2.5 inches. Im finding that the stitches around the stoma are being pulled on by the stent. Its a sharp bee sting type of pain. I have another 8 days before they remove the stent. Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep the stent from curling around the stoma and pulling on stitches?
