Do you still have your ostomy bag or were you able to get a reversal ?

Ulcerative colitis is such a nasty condition and often having a stoma makes life a lot better in the long term.

I have mine 4 8 yrs now I have a inverted stoma pretty small right above my belly button wish it was more yo the side but I had a blocked n have no colon have only sm intense; .dealing with the leaks n gas n bloating n the different noise of the gas But your heathly n thT all that matters.

Love your videos. The bag trick is awesome. I had my surgery back in October so I’m new to this. My surgery had a lot of complications and my stomach is on the inside and not out. One trick I learned with the powder is to turn the bottle right side up so sir fills the top of the bottle and squeeze the bottle to blow off the extra powder. I also found using a hair dryer once everything is on helps seal the flange with the rings to me. Thank you for your video.

Great job! And a good informative video.

YEs have everything prepped to go. I had mt wafer/ring pre cut .Adhesive remover is best. They taught me to take the bag off first. Then take the wafer/ring off then get the skin clean. As the skin starts to dry Check for sore or red skin around the stoma. I used a skin cream for the redness. There is a powder which is to alleviate any odour and you put a small amount in the bag. Then repeat the process, Wafer/ring warm it up to help the adhesive get sticky, apply it to you. Have the bag ready to go, Put the seal on then put the bag on. Its all about practice and confidence. Always take a grab bag with you when you go out juts in case you need to change anything.

Does it get moisture

Anche io ho la stomia dal 30 marzo 1988 coraggio

You can order spray adhesive remover very easy to peal it off Then you can use a bottle spray with water. spray around it to clean your skin and stoma. Don't be afraid to use water bottle spray. Then pat it with dry paper towel or mini fan so around the stoma is totally dry. Do not pour the powder to your stoma . Only to your irritated skin . If you accidentally pour to your stoma make sure spray water because if you don't and once the powder it gets dry your stoma will bleed. Then after that you use the skin barrier so your skin won't irritate. There's also a lubricant to put inside the bag easier to empty your bag

THANK YOU what a wonderful EXAMPLE you are for teaching the world that this is NORMAL

The vented bags stink up the room- good luch

Thank you so much for your words.. and how you explain everything In detail. I just had my ileostomy bag removed after 2 months. I had a terrible bad time with the bag since my stoma was retracted and there were leakedge every day.. but had questions about after thus surgery and you touched on them really nice.. thank you for your words and information.

Brawo za odwagę. Szanuję i podziwiam za nagranie tego filmu. Mój syn ma 8 lat urodził się z przepuklina oponowo - rdzeniową i choruje na jelito neurogenne i pęcherz neurogenny.

2021 had part of my bowel taken out,next will be this thank you for the video I'm kinda freaking out about all of this. 👍

As my partner had an Ileostomy and then we really had to learn alot about preparation of the skin , skin care, why so many leaks ( particularly in men?) THE HAIR GROWTH pushes the flange out so you need to keep the area shaved and extremely clean , plus , there are SO many products. Ask as many questions as you need to and keep asking

Thank you sharing this good info. May I share this with my family member who just had surgery? Goldie

Hi It looks like it's been 2 years since this video. How about an update? It really looks painful to peel it off your skin. The other commenters said there is spray to help with that. I hope you have found it. I have also read that you can use a opaque bag, not transparent. What is the advantage of this one you have instead of the opaque? Thanks for the video, you are brave to do this and very helpful to us all.

Muchas gracias por estar a qué otras personas puedan hacer sus cambios de bolsa, saludos desde Ensenada BC México...❤

I had my entire colon removed recently, UC. Sending you all love and strength 💜

Thanks for the upload, & sharing your journey. It’s very helpful to me, I’m waiting to have a permanent ileostomy, no J-pouch for me or any other options. What I would like to point out is how healthy you’re looking in this video, it’s certainly made all the difference. For me I’m having to spend 24 hours a day in bed with immense fatigue and pain, I can’t wait to get my life back. You have given me hope & faith and eased any worries I have, so thank you 🙏 ❤ and congrats for getting where you are, it’s not easygoing that I can see 😅🎉

Wow that was brave

КОМУ ЭТО ДРОЧ ИНТЕРЕСНА?

ТЕБЕ САМОМУ ПРИЯТНО ? ТЕБЕ НЕ СТЫДНО СНИМАТЬ ЭТУ ЕБУРЛУ КАК ТЫ? СРЕШ

I don't like touching my stoma or my pouch so I always use disposable gloves. If you are a germaphobic I would suggest you do the same.

We ( my best friend the stoma)are going every day together shower . He like s it. Sounds strange maybe , but he saved my life.

Before my ostomy I was having bloody stool and the urge to go a lot everyday but could never actually go and sometimes it would hurt

Please i need help ! Its 26years now that i have not been able to poo, except i use excessive laxative. It seems my inner rectum or the inner anus contracts whenever i have the urge and i tried to push poo out in the toilet, but the poo will not pass out.😢 And after a long months i go to the toilet push and the poo goes out easily without the use of any laxative, that sometime happens maybe in just a day in several months of no poo at all..😮 Over the years have tried all Kindly advice on what to eat vegetable, fruits, fibre but all abortive no positive result. Please i need advice on what to do, so i can move on with my life.. living life in this trauma is serously fustrating my life

😢❤ Iam glad you do ok 👌 thow

I have a colostomy bag due to me almost dying of diverticulitis

Those bags be stink like hell

Thank you for sharing and being so open and informative. I'm considering this procedure if my current biological treatments do not work.

How many days could you keep it on if you didn't want to change it?

That shit be stink as fuck

She had a glove touching that

Definitely worth the money...

Thanks for your video. I got an ileostomy as well. And yes I got lightheaded too. Just have to take it easy. You did a great job. Take care😊

one last video would be awesome :) . I'm getting 2nd surgery done in december and takedown hopefully in march next year

Had my colostomy takedown on Friday everything he was saying was pretty much my same experience except I was on water right away and I did not need very much pain medicine just tylonal actually but glad to say everything is going smoothly 😊 I was really nervous about having another surgery before this but truly you do not need to worry yourself trust your body and pat yourself on the back for coming this far !!

Sir j pouch surjery effect by sexual relationship

I could recommend some suggestions for long term care of the pouch. Dr. Scott Willmen Please contact me

Your video is so instructive and explained so nice . Enjoyed it .. thanks so much I’m seeing this video as I’ll be to the process soon and I have heard horror stories but I don’t want permanent bag right now ., want to try my options so thank you

Congratulations! I’m hoping to have my ostomy reversed this summer, had it since January 5th and I hate it! So happy for you! Keep us updated!

Helpful videos many years later, in hospital after takedown surgery this week.

Ask for adhesive removal spray

I have tried these and they do not work because once it gets heavy with output, there is no clip to keep it”locked” and so you will end up having lots of leaks

I wonder how this guy is holding up hope all is great and much improved

I know it's a long time since you had yours done I'm 5 weeks away from my takedown surgery and your videos have been so helpful. Could you give me any dietary tips for my first few weeks

I have a Stoma bag. Doing ok with it. 👍

Much needed. Me: Joe, UC diagnosed 2004. Total colectomy next Thursday. Wish I could ask you questions!
