The ostomy nurse taught me to put my hand over the adhesive for a minute after I put it on, to warm it up so that it sticks better. While I am doing t...

Those sound like adorable little stomas to me. My Ruby is a robust girl; the surgeon said she is “one good-looking stoma.” Looks aren’t everything, of...

@momof2 All good wishes to you and your daughter! There is a lot of information out there and a lot of choices. The stoma nurse will be of great help,...

@goatherder Oh, the group is online but it is live, using Zoom, a discussion meet/greet with a topic each month. I am really looking forward to it! An...

My pouch seems so bulky, and the ostomy side of my stomach sticks out. When I raise my arms sometimes my shirts hike up, and I am concerned that the b...

@squeakyandliza At last! Sending all best thoughts and wishes, Liza.
