I joined this community many months ago prior to getting my ileostomy after a long journey of medical issues. What an amazing group of people from all over the map that helped me navigate my first few months of figuring out how to deal with and avoid as many “ostomy mishaps” as possible. It's difficult enough facing extreme or chronic medical problems. Coming to terms with needing an ostomy is far from easy, and I was overwhelmed by the amount of support and positivity when reading about others' experiences. I never ended up posting anything myself but find myself doing so now. My medical issues are far from over, but I had a reversal, and I'm reaching out to anyone who might be in need of unused extra supplies that I have. Completely free of charge if anyone is in the Tristate area of New York. I have many boxes of Coloplast bags (both 1 and 2 piece), barriers, stoma powders, adhesive remover, barrier wipes/spray, protective sheets (proven most useful to avoid leaks!), barrier rings, belts, sachets to thicken output, etc. Some Hollister bags and products as well.
I'm not able to ship, but if you're interested in picking them up, please reach out to me.
If this post is still up, that means they are still available. I will delete it once they are claimed.
