No stoma nurse will never be qualified unless they have a double ostomy. It's been trial and error for me until the day when I hit the right combination. With short bowel syndrome I can't relax as diet and fluids play a big part of my life now, all the best ostomates.

I can’t figure out how to use the belt that came with the coloplast sample kit. There are no hook on areas on either the one or the 2 piece system.

I am currently an RN and an ileostomy pt. for 7 weeks now. Three things that I think have saved my hide (literally) is, when applying a new appliance: 1. Ensure the skin is clean and dry. 2. 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film (applied after skin has been cleaned and thoroughly dried.) These are great if you’re having trouble with the flange or adhesive adhering to your skin. If you’re wondering, it is my personal and professional opinion, that Hollister’s version of the same product, “Adapt” is inferior. I have used both personally and professionally in my practice. 3. Hydrocolloid dressings that can be cut to fit over the stoma much like an ostomy flange. Then apply your flange over the hydrocolloid dressing. They can be purchased from CVS (store brand)…These can be applied over the 3M Barrier Film and are GREAT to heal and prevent moisture associated skin breakdown at and around the stoma site. These last 2 items are a bit on the “pricey” side if purchased out-of pocket and can be difficult to obtain. If you’re insured, depending on your insurance, your physician can write a script for these items and you can obtain them from your ostomy supplier with a co-pay filed with your insurance. (Coloplast 4x4 hydrocolloid dressings are personally my favorite and are more likely to be obtained from your ostomy supplier. The CVS ones work, too though.) These items are DEFINITELY worth the investment if you’re experiencing that type of moisture associated breakdown that I have on my journey. I hope this helps!

thanks for the video it was informative thank you, I had my surgery in Sept, and spent 18 days in the Hospital which wasn't fun, my stoma is permanent and not reversible

Great video thank you for sharing your ideas and experience!

Use altoids. Very strong and kills odor.

Who thought it would be a good idea to play music over someone talking?

I hope she's still around somewhere

I had an emergency appendectomy, due to severe rupturing of my appendix peritonitis, major infection etc, had to have ileostomy, due to the damage to my colon about six months ago. I've hsd difficulty in the past few months with leakages, skin irritation etc. I have found that quality baby wipes with aloe vera moisturiser are very good for cleaning around my stoma and healing the skin,(also useful for diaper rash on babies). Brands are different here in Australia to the U S, so I can't recommend a particular one.

I went into ER and woke up with my stomach sliced and stapled,a bag attached to me.I wasn't given a choice,thank God because I'd chosen death if I had known.Im glad to be alive

Thank you for doing an actual real change complete with your stoma leaking. It’s the first I’ve seen where someone is cleaning stool from skin and stoma and showing how to prevent pancaking. I am still learning to get used to mine and figuring things out. I hope you have a happier and better 2025!

As a cancer victim enjoyed watching and appreciated.

Thank you!

CHECK OUT OSTOMY CARNIVORE (KENT CARNIVORE) AS WELL WOW😊

I am scheduled to have My ostomy surgery on the 12/30/24 , I am honestly scared to death and have been having a lot of panic attacks. It's really hard to Think about this new life change And living with this stoma and a bag. I don't want to do this.

Kitchen roll in the toilet is a great way of preventing splsh back - it's more robust that toilet paper! And I change my bag in the morning before breakfast, so there's no output - you don't want to eat marshmallows - sugar is very bad for cancer! God bless.

Did anyone think of using the cat/dog odor illuminator called "Pooh", it's safe for human touch, the commercial shows the guy spraying it his mouth...just asking..

I am having sigmoid colectomy in six days !! Thank you soooo very much for your information 🥰🙏🏾😇✨️💖✨️💖✨️💖✨️💖✨️💖✨️💖✨️💖

Hi, i dont like talking about this... im pretty private. My life has changed due to this bag... but glad to be alive.. thanks for your video.

Thank you for sharing. Helpful info especially for new people with new life changes.

Thank you for sharing this!

I found it super helpful that you actually showed the emptying of the bag and what a pancake is too as I've had trouble visualising these things before. Also marshmallows as a helpful trick? Hell yeah, I freaking LOVE marshmallows so it's nice to know not everything will be so bad haha

I've been walking a thin line with my Ulcerative Colitis for the past few years and I'm currently on the last drug available to me before operation is the best option (it's been a close call a few times, especially when I was first rushed to hospital). This video has been really helpful in properly understanding the process of things. You can read all you want, but there's nothing like going through it properly with someone else, so thank you for putting this content out there for others like me to help us come to terms with what out life might be soon and how to handle it.

Great info delivered well. The music is very distracting and doesn't help.

Wish I’d found you 11 months ago when my husband had his ostomy surgery! Thanks for tips and specifics

Please send a video to let us know you are ok

Covid plandemic destroyed a lot of things. Stay away from vaccines. That’s why all the health issues.

I’ve stopped going to doctors. They all suck.

Come back

Cecily. THANK YOU! My brother just had a colostomy done and they are training me on how to take care of it for him until he is better and can do it on his own. Your videos are wonderful! 💜

Yes I know as I had a operation on my prostate several years ago and before that I had to have a catheter in me so that I could pee because it got to the point that I couldn’t pee at all until I had my operation and when I had it I ended up wetting my self and having to wear diapers 24/7 as a side effect and I’m still wearing diapers now and wetting myself ok Thanks

Thank u I really learn a lot for my mother she will do the operation very soon

VERY HELPFUL!!!

Thank you, you are amazing.

Fap

I have a Illeostomy and I’m so happy to see someone that uses the same products as me. I enjoyed you video and I’m gonna go buy some the products you got from CVS. I’m a follower now🙏🏽🤎

Have you every used contex bags? The two piece.

I’m allergic to tegaderm. I’ll be stuffed if I ever have to get an ostomy

to reduce if not stop drainage, I change in the mornings after an irrigation and bath!

to empty a full or partially full bag, I get on my knees in front of the John. It definitely when you can reduce the amount of splash back, on the walls.

This one piece SYSTEM is awful for an ileostomy

This is the worst pouch system ever ..

Your video is so educative. You got a subscriber. I'm so glad I found your video so I can share it with my patients. :) :)

Watching this video in 24 brought back the memories. I didn't have a stoma during covid but severe crohns. I remember that as a coal miner my job was protected but my company did scale back manpower and not being very high in seniority i was sent home for a couple of months. I just remember wanting to go back to work So bad

Hi a little tip i use kitchen roll to dry my skin after using wet wipes non fragrance, works for me

I change my bag first thing in the morning . Marshmallow technique is glucose and not good for diabetics, like me

I have to change the whole set because the wafer leaks. And bags are so expensice in the Philippines. Any reco?

Thank you so much for this information. New to this and very overwhelmed and emotional

I am a nurse studying ostomy care, and I am loving your videos!! Especially the one about things you wish your nurse told you! I will be recommending your channel to my patients!

I found baby oil works but can mess up clothes.
