New urostomy with ileal conduit one month ago. Looking for suggestions on what type pouch to order and why. So far have been trying the pouches sent thru the companies in kits that arrived on return from hospital after surgery. Have not placed a supply order yet and not sure what supplies to order and from where. Do you have to get an order/ prescription from the surgeon each time you place an order? Also on occasion have had a problem with the tubing twisting at night when I'm sleeping and attached to an overnight bag so it doesn't drain properly. TIA
