Hello.
I am going to have an end ileostomy surgery soon.
I am wondering what day-to-day products you use in the form of bag covers and belts.
I am a choir teacher and am usually on my feet most of the day, with standing and sitting often.
I am on the larger side and remember how pregnancy belly bands rolled into my folds… wondering what everyone uses and what is available. Also, where to purchase items. And if anyone has made their own (I sew).
Thanks!
Rhonda
