I don't know if this will help....I've had my stoma for 3 years....some days it can be almost 1 3/4 inches and then some days it is flush to my abdomen ....don't know why such a large variation...and it was very unsettling the first few times of either extreme...usually I'm 1 inch. My "stoma " nurse said nothing to worry about, so I don't. Still it looks weird either way , but no pain or discomfort.
