Question:
I've heard of enlarging stoma, but is there anything short of surgery ....

I know several folks who needed to have their stomas enlarged do to it restricting. I on the other hand worry mine may be too large, as I seem to eat a great deal more than my peers. Is there anything aside from surgery to reduce the size of this? I don't know for certain if that's my case or not, but an idea. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks -Kim    — KimBo36 (posted on October 18, 2001)

Kim, I had to have my stoma stretched twice. I am able to eat a lot more now - and I also feel hungry all the time. I wish it was smaller. Nothing I can do about it now, it is better then not being able to eat or drink at all, which is what happend to me. Good luck
