My mom is going to check with byrum and then call medicaid and see what she can find out. It just doesn't make sense they would approve 20 bags and 20 rings but only 10 wafers. What do I need 20 bags and rings for if I have nothing to attach them to?
Kas, my pouch has a plastic lining inside. Is that not the case with your pouch? I would think the lining would prevent the contents of the bag from making contact with the pouch covering. I wonder if you and IC are using the same brand appliance. This could be material degradation, and if so, then it is wise to change the pouch after 3 days. I still think it prudent to check with the manufacturer to see what could be happening. If you find out anything, please let me know.

I contacted Hollister and explained the situation; I am waiting on a response.
