Hi there. I had my surgery six weeks ago and had my prostate and bladder removed. I am a healthy, active 49-year-old who misses wearing normal clothing. So far, my clothing has been sweatpants and sweatshirts. I will be going to Florida in two months, and I would like to know what kind of shorts I can wear out there. I have both bags, and I am wondering how I can cover them in the hotter weather. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you very much for your time.

Welcome to this site. I had my colostomy last year and had lots of questions to ask. If you would like more information, I would advise you to make it a forum topic. People will be only too willing to help, as not everyone looks at the blogs. Good luck x

For those of you still looking for love after your ostomy... don't give up! One day, when you least expect it, there will be a message in your inbox... always remember that when you're not looking, life has a brilliant way of surprising you with someone in your life you have so much in common with, and either you make a great new friend or you will find the person you were always looking for! I, for one, thank God I found this website... I was in a low place when I first started, and now I've never been happier! ~Traci~

Hi Lloyd - welcome and may I say I find it amazing and uplifting to hear of your plan to travel so soon. I agree with Carol - the forum is a good place to get lots more input than the blogs. Also, can you be more specific when you say you have "both bags"? :)
