Well, to be fair, Trio's drainable bags are still very new. Even when I had my op done a couple of months ago at the start of March, they didn't do drainable bags. They've literally only just started doing them, and the closed bags only started... I dunno, maybe last year? Year before? For a while when they first started, Trio only did accessories. Fingers crossed they start giving the US their black drainable bags soon.

I got a message back from the stockist Medical Monks this morning. They know of no black ostomy pouches available in North America. I was expecting this response but it's still disappointing.
Another plot perpetrated by the man (FDA) (Food and Drug Administration) to keep me down!
I wonder if there is a way to find out what products have been submitted for or are awaiting approval from this agency? I know what I will be looking into tomorrow while I wait at the cottage for what "team" is doing the biopsies so I can get the hell out of here!

You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.
