How to empty your ostomy bag ANYWHERE!

[@Mike-b4s8z]

After a severe accident I ended up with an Ostomy, never scared me for some reason as I was so happy to just be alive! After my accident I proved all my Dr's wrong as they told me I'd never walk again yet I may not walk perfect but I walk. I carry in every vehicle I own extra supplies in a simple plastic bag for when the need arises. Anyone could end up with an Ostomy for a multitude of reasons. Fact is those who have the Bag' can do anything they want just as before their life changed . Casey, please keep up the TSA as they will help many people better understand life can change when we least expect it. Ostomy SAVE lives!!!

[@iSheree]

Thank you for your comment, it made me feel so much better about my upcoming surgery. I am sorry about the accident that changed your life but can totally understand that you’re just happy to be alive. I have severe female problems it has gotten to the point where I have not stopped bleeding for 10 months now and have no choice but to have a hysterectomy at 33. I also have cancer and they wanted me to get my cancer into remission or at least stable first. Now that my cancer is stable, I am ready for a hysterectomy but absolutely terrified. They told me due to severe bowel involvement from endometriosis, a bowel reconstruction is needed and will likely result in a stoma. So thank you, you have no idea how much your comment has helped me.

Thanks for the traveling tip on emptying my pouch. Doggie bag is great idea, I never thought of it. Makes my life a little easier

[@judymoyer3093]

God Bless you for your help and kindness Thank you an old retired nurse that watches your videos

[@koreyscott80]

I’m 4 weeks into my ostomy journey, this is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!

[@paulakaimuloa6611]

I saw one of your videos a while ago. I now use your methods while I’m away from home. It’s so easy! Thank you so much.

[@6beckyy]

I have had my ostomy for a couple of years and quite a few times I’ve had some close calls and wondered what I’d do if I hadn’t found a bathroom in time. This is so amazing. I think you’ve answered the biggest question I’ve ever had. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You’re amazing!!!

[@StephenPeterson-k4v]

It helps - Thanks. A weekly tip would be great.

[@davidlaroche4537]

Great idea!

[@tonygilberti]

Loving the Tupperware trick. Genius. Much appreciated!!!!

[@megm7291]

Newbie nursing student here, thank you for this video!! Helped me gain some knowledge and ideas!!! Thanks for your honesty and advice.

[@janetharris8429]

I have only just seen this video and wow what a life changer for me. Thank you much.

[@jhafer80214]

Zip-Lok freezer bags (with the double seal) work even better.

[@mikeykcl]

I soon will be a member of the ostomy club. Thank you for answering questions I didn't know to ask. You are a hero, Sir.

[@leebernardo1000]

I've had an ostomy (Ileostomy) for over 47 years - some good, some bad but I really love these tips. What I've found, because we live out in northern Wisconsin, I keep napkins, the brown ones, from restaurants in our car and UTV. When needed they serve well as toilet paper and disintegrate quickly in the woods. Less stuff in a landfill.

[@pamhartnup6888]

What a great idea. You can never know when you might need to do this. This should work when you get a leak and need to change the bag quickly.👍

[@Katiehc1]

I would be so grateful for these tips. I could probably even add some myself. I went for about 6 or seven months with home health nurses who knew nothing about it and had a heck of a time until I moved to a different town and quit home health! I got on KZbin and watched some of you all and that’s how I got my tips and now I have no problems at all. I try to help other people if they are having problems so go with it and thank you for putting this out for us, people who need to know these tips!

[@Afrinaturality]

Fab tip. My worries about using toilet facilities outside the home as an ostomate has impacted my day-to-day life. This tip is a great option if you have to be out and about for a long while during the day. Thanks! 😊

[@mariankelly8224]

Me too. I hope we improve our lives with this tip. It can be very daunting going anywhere that you're not sure how to find a bathroom. All the best

[@yygott]

Awesome! As a fellow ostomate, this video helped me so much. I can't stand gas station bathrooms. Thank you for making this!

[@NERSkate]

My husband is a “new” ostomate (10 months) After 8 months of hospitalization he came home 8 weeks ago. Due to other medical conditions he requires total assistance managing all-things-ostomy, therefore I am still the chief cook THIESE TIPS = genius. The doggy-do liner is brilliant. I think he will be more comfortable attending outdoor events knowing your tips. Thank you for tips ,encouragement .

[@camillesanders7513]

Good idea 💡

[@taraharrelson4360]

This video is BRILLIANT!!! Super helpful hack for us ostomates!!! Yes!!! Weekly tips would be fantastic!!!

[@helenoreillylong9497]

I keep a kit in the trunk of my car, a tall yogurt pot with a lid, lined with a Bag It Away bag and loo roll etc. works so well for me. The Bag It Away bags are opaque and hold in any odors and so easy to then dispose of. When traveling I put everything I need for each change into it’s own Bag It Away bag. Makes for an easy self- contained change kit. Thanks for all your great info. Hope this also might help your viewers.

[@waynegraham7608]

I just got my ostomy. Still in the hospital actually. You sir are a man sent from God. Thank you

[@jackieporter5323]

Best Wishes to you, I have had my stoma for 28 years , I was hospitalised for three months after surgery, I have to say it gave me a life after years of illness. I am now 82 and relatively fit, I hope you continue on your road to full health xxx

[@aodhankarlsson2018]

This just made my day! -- I'm a heavy haul trucker (specialist) out in MN. My buddy/co-worker just told me you have the same surgery as me, and apparently the same work hoodie 😂 Heep up the good work!

[@ron827]

Love your transparency on this subject. 👍👍

[@bethjerome5282]

Fantastic tip, thank you from Canada 😊

[@Dorothy-x5f]

Thank you... Your wonderful for doing these little tips. Learning more from you then the nurses that came to my house... Your a doll Good luck & God Bless ❤️😊

[@barbarahoule6372]

Thank you for the great tips

[@easygoer1234]

I worked in places where I had to change many of them. For people who have are facing having to know what it's like to live with one, listening to some DR drone on in there monotone voices telling people how it will affect them doesn't really help them know how life is living with one. But when people like you who actually live with one give people encouragement and show them you just keep on living but with one little hitch. Thank you Casey.

[@dond.200]

That is a great take-along ostomy kit that you have developed and use regularly! I will definitely utilize the cup, good quality TP, baby wipes and doggie bags for when I travel or in a plane’s tiny bathroom. As you stated the cheap flimsy toilet paper in restaurant bathrooms and planes is horrible. Thanks for the video and tips! I have a possible tip for you… I use a product called Sure Seal that completely covers my ConvaTec skin barrier wafer. Sure Seal is a very thin waterproof membrane that is extremely flexible. I live in Florida and I have never had my wafer come off of my torso when using the Sure Seal. I can float in 90* Gulf waters, my pool or hot tub for an hour or more without it coming loose. I can also do yard work, bending stooping and whatever and it never breaks down. I usually change my ostomy appliance every 4-6 days. I use a ConvaTec two piece Ostomy appliance with an accordion wafer. I find with the two piece ConvaTec system I can burp the air out of my bag and reseal it to my wafer in the bathroom or even overnight while still in bed. Again thanks for your video and your very helpful hints!

[@pollyfischer8526]

Thank you so much! I'm helping a family member adjust to a new ostomy situation and this info is so reassuring 💖 appreciate you sharing what works.

[@SvnakeGaming]

Man this is so smart. I work in construction and travel a lot for work. This is really helpful! Thank you! Started my ostomy ( temporary) last sat, still hospitalized and waiting .

[@bensmithies5234]

Thank you Casey, love the straight shooting no frills approach. I'm heading towards surgery in a few weeks, so undertaking as much research as possible. Brilliant advice I'm sure I'll replicate. Please continue to post your top tips.

[@karenprine5313]

Brilliant ❤

[@johnroche1321]

I've got one since 2008 great idea I'm doing that today ! Best tip ever 👍👍👍

[@dwaynefrench225]

I'm a truck driver about to go under surgery this will work great. thank you

[@rjmullane699]

Thanks for sharing this. This is going to be a part of our life in a couple weeks after my buddy has his surgery. He's a truck driver and your share is helpful.

[@n5zxz]

Brilliant ! Definitely implementing this great idea !

[@lisayoung5136]

Great tip! Passing this on to my husband. I think the short Ostomy tip videos are a great idea. Thanks so much!

[@zgaryhall]

Good job fella,had mine since 2016 life saver after many years of UC. You can never stop learning about things so I watch many things like your videos. Keep it up and good health to all! 👍💙🇬🇧🇺🇲

[@jenniferfarrar3542]

Thank you! We are navigating an ileostomy bag with my 82 year old mom. She could never imagine public bathroom emptying and I would never have thought of this! Thank you! We are so struggling with this new lifestyle!

[@MrFcollin]

Thanks!

[@carla2016]

Thank you so much!! My husband is a new colostomy patient, and we are just trying to figure things out. He can't get out of bed right now, and this is perfect!

[@JoAnnJonesholden]

That helped me a great deal! My line of work is an OT in Home Health and I have been desperately searching for a way to do this exact thing 😊…thank you!

[@rhondagale4795]

Thank you so much! My husband is about to have this procedure and you’re information is so valuable!!! Bless you❤

[@amypeplinski9117]

I love this. We do a lot of traveling and I spend a lot of time in the woods so this is perfect. This will help me a lot. Thank you.

[@clewis3250]

I needed this vlog two days ago! My pouch started filling up on my way home during an hr’s drive. I just hoped that I could make it home before I had an accident. Obviously I carry supplies and do have a poop bag just in case. But what a brilliant idea to have the container to insert the bag in. In my case, I didn’t have a means to discard the bag. At least, though, I could have just tied up the bag and left in the container until I reached my destination to discard. Thanks so much for that informative tip!👍🏽

[@stephaniemartin1759]

Excellent, quick, no muss no fuss -- I came upon a very similar method, and it works very well. THANKS

[@GregoryDrazkiewicz]

simply good idea

[@maudwelford1843]

Thank you for your open help. My husband uses catheters, he did have a permanent one which he used to empty in a quiet corner if no toilet available. He now has disposable ones which are more convenient and less less likely to infection. People don't realise how some folks have to face these facts of life, thank for being soooo open.💕👏🙏🇬🇧

[@chrisblackburn4729]

Your videos are very helpful and great. Im new to this and you have made this much easier. Please keep do the videos.

I am a Chron’s patient and recovered colon cancer patient with half colon. I have been told surgery /bag is likely in my future. Actual think my life will be more controlled then it is now. Anyway I too think your video is great and shows this maintence can be handled in a calm way in your own private way.Thank you for all the help you give others. Wish you the best

[@almacipriani3508]

Personally I think it’s great. I don’t have it or know anyone with…this helps us be informed. Takes the questions out and makes it actually normal.

[@ruthbrown4838]

That's great!

[@DigginWithDeej]

Thank you for having the guts to share this information. Waiting for my exploratory surgery to determine if mass is benign or not. Trying to prepare myself just in case. Thank you 💜

I am 95 and have had a ostomy for four years now and find videos like your very helpful. Don’t let anyone stop you, you make people that feel life is just a mess,realize that it’s not and there is life after this operation that nobody want to have. Bless you, you make it sound normal and acceptable

[@lteng75]

I am about to get an ostomy bag in a couple of weeks and your videos are awesome please continue to make these as hit really helps newcomer. your awesome

[@61rampy65]

Casey, I had an ostomy installed on 7/4/23, and I made a comment on one of your videos a few days after. YT recommended this video today, and now I will look up your other ostomy vids. Your openness about the bag made me feel so much better. Mine is temporary but I still have to deal with it for several months more. Just wanted to say "Thanks" to you for helping me thru this.

[@aspin63610]

What a great idea

[@danielmiller70]

Thank you, well done, and “real”.

[@Allison-z5k]

Thank you for this video. My son is in a wheelchair and it's hard for him to transfer sometimes, so this will work great for him. Good information 👍

[@bobalijon]

That was awesome. Thank you so much. I never thought of these ideas and will definitely be trying them out.

[@nicolegagnon2160]

Thanks for the tip. I'm a heavy equipment operator on a mine and will have to make adjustments for sure.

[@sheilaghgiddings4413]

Brilliant tip. Thanks

[@twenty4DD]

Had an ostomy 3 weeks ago, still learning and this helps, good to know there is a solution if travelling away from plumbing

[@jimmybarr7387]

I've had mine for just over 2 months. I found it devastating, but there are so many brave people out there willing to share. Thank you so much

[@MikeSingh-nq1qg]

[@patriciaruth2894]

That was such a clever idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@johnreese3762]

Great tip, thanks!!

[@wmden1]

Thanks. That is a pretty good system. I do about the same thing. I I have had a colostomy for 5 years. I keep a closable plastic coffee can, paper towels, and a half gallon bottle of water in any vehicle I drive, or ride in, regularly. I also keep a spare, already cut bag, in my hip pocket, folded in a Ziplock storage bag. I have had to use the spare bag more times than I would like.

[@debrichardson7772]

Just found your videos, god bless you this has been so helpful 💕 Thank you 👍

[@iSheree]

There is always going to be that one person. Thank you for your videos. It helps me feel more confident going into this surgery I am about to have (might be waking up with a stoma)… ❤

[@thereplacementfordisplacement]

My friend was diagnosed late with colon cancer despite routine colonoscopey and complaining about pain. Because it was so late much of his colon was cancerous and the prudent thing was to remove his colon but he pled with Dr's who agreed to save part of his colon and just do radiation and chemo. It was out of fear of living with a colostomy bag. I wish he had just gone with the colostomy bag and lived with it. Thanks for sharing your matter of fact way of adapting to this way of life.
