Hi Barb,

My husband has had a colostomy for about three years
and does some lifting on his job. He has a problem
with hernias and if he has a repair done, we are going
to see about using a support belt to prevent future
hernia problems. I wish we had know about them
earlier. Below is a web site for a belt I read about
on an ostomy information site. It might be something
your husband would want to look into before returning
to work.

Good luck
Martha
