My name is Oscar. I had surgery on 2/21/2020 to remove my sigmoid colon due to diverticulitis. I'm now learning how to cope with these changes. So far, I'm tackling changing my appliance and bathing. I'm using Hollister 18194 pouch, 14604 skin barrier, and 7805 ring.
My questions: How long can I wear the 14604 barrier before changing it? How many days can I wear the 18194 pouch before replacing it with a new one?
