I think I have the leaking under control and my skin is so much better. Thank you for sharing and caring.

    I'm in that constant state of extreme stress and anxiety. It's horrible, and has made my situation worse. But, my life was completely destroyed. I lost my family, I lost my career job, then Lost so much more... im hurting so horrible... I can't take it. I got horrible depression... my life I knew, and loved.... it's over and I can't accept it no matter what the psychologist says... I'm completely devastated... and depression, anxiety, insomnia... added to my misery... has killed my soul. I'm all alone now, without my family, and my job.... Im unable to leave the apt with these mental illnesses. I feel totally afraid, and lost.. I don't want to live anymore.

    Nothing helps pancaking. Used all sorts of oils to lubricate the bag. The problem is that the lubricant doesn't get around the stoma. Also, another problem is that Holister, Coloplast, and Other manufacturers insist on making these stupid bags with too much space above the stoma. The top of the bag should start just above the stoma and get rid of that ridiculous carbon filter that does absolutely nothing. I don't know why these manufacturers insist on making oatomy bags in the shape of an achordian or hot water bottle. I hate having my ileostomy. If I could help design a new bag witha company, I would, because they are totally dead from thr neck up and only care about the money as usual.

    Thanks for sharing this, I can defo relate. I thought I was doing really badly and that I was the only one who felt like this. I was really positive in hospital and for a couple of weeks after coming out. But since I have been really struggling. I had surgery on my leg 6 weeks ago and have a long rehab process ahead. Also having difficulties in my relationship at the same time so struggling without that support. I haven’t been able to go back to my flat since the surgery because of all the stairs so have been going between my parents and my partners and friends. Really want some sort of stability and sense of normal right now. Your video has helped me feel more normal emotionally though so thank you!

    I no longer have peristasis in my colon. I need lots of laxatives so I can go. I feel sick most days. My dr said don’t rush surgery. Keep taking laxatives until they stop working. My GI said I could come out worse than when I went in. I don’t have a choice because without a colectomy or colostomy I will die. I will need some type of ostomy. I’m scared but that’s my life. This has ruined my life. I hope surgery can help somewhat.

    From my experience, once you have breached the primary 'seal', those extenders and those fabric extensions are not keeping output from your skin. You've breached the primary, output is getting to the edges underneath IT, so, time to change. My output seems to occur mostly in the early hours of the morning, anywhere from 12:00 a.m. till empty. I usually awaken by 2:30 and typically have to empty about 2 or 3 times right away. Leaks happen at these times. When they do, you hope that the 'safety flanges' have done their job and you don't have too big a mess.

      I hope your surgery goes well and you recover well. I had ilesotomy surgery in Tampa in 2017 and it has changed my life for the better. My recover took a while and I tried a few different products until I found the right combination. The internet and RUclips ideas are a good source of information and suggestions. Hang in there and good luck with your surgery. Where are you having your surgery and is it a permanent colostomy or ileostomy? I’ll keep you in my prayers.

    Watching this again two year's later and I'm still so angry. Is it because we are women? I complained of lower abdomen pain for four years! I was given endless antidepressants...which just didn't compute. The pressure was so severe that I struggled to urinate. And one day my intestines ruptured and poisoned every square inch of my body. My organs shut down and I died only to be brought back with an ostomy bag and the worse pain I've ever experienced. I will never be ok again...and had they done a simply CT scan they would have seen I had severe diverticulitis. Four year's later and I get constant blockages...candida everywhere and can drink nothing but water and eat bland foods. When I beg for help they offer me antidepressants...because that will solve bleeding from my stoma.
