Is there a way to tuck in the tail of a Hollister Ostomy bag? Other brands seem to have pockets to tuck the tail in, but can't seem to figure out if there is a pocket on the Ostomy brand bags.....

Not on the Hollister model I use. If you want a smaller bag, you could look into kid-size bags. &zwj

I use Hollister (bag type 18182) and have always folded/rolled the tail and tucked it up under the outer cover, actually says on the box "Lock 'n Roll," and I do!

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.
I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.
I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.

Hi Barbiedoll, try this, you can make it as small as you want when going out and take it off at home. Hope it works for you. Regards IGGIE
