I noticed tonight that when I was cleaning around the stoma that there is some leakage if I pull the tube up instead of letting it hang down. Is there supposed to be any leakage at all? Should I call my gastro dr. this evening or just wait until Monday? It is not a lot fo leakage, but enough the it does drip down my sotmach some until I just let the tube hang down and then it stops. This thing has been nothing but a nuisance.
