Seeking Advice - Back Brace for Ostomy and Arthritis

Does anyone have any suggestions for wearing a back brace with an ostomy? I have arthritis in my low back and probably mid back too. I can't find a support back brace for someone with an ostomy.

I would think some of the wider ostomy belts would work.

There's a couple others also that are wider and would probably work, but they didn't come up right away in my search. I believe one is made by one of the ostomy bag/supply companies if I remember right. By the way, is that your birthday 12/19/68? If so, mine too.

Thank you so much!!! Yes, that is my birthdate! We need to celebrate together now.

You're welcome. I've searched a lot for belts, so I knew there were wider ones. And since you pull them tight, I figure there would be added back support with them. Nobody has ever offered to celebrate the greatest day the world has ever known with me.

Well, there you go. Now you have someone else to celebrate your/my special day!!!

Oh my goodness, I have had so many back braces, but none of them worked with the ostomy pouch! After I had my surgery, the nurses in ICU ended up cutting a hole in an elastic brace that they had--and it seemed to work. I don't wear it very often now, not because I don't hurt, but because I'm too lazy to put it on--lol

That could work too if a person already has a brace. Some braces have support bars/bands in them, so a person would have to make sure cutting into any of that wouldn't affect the support of the brace.
