Living with a Colostomy Bag: Share Your Experiences

Have had this for 2 years! I like my bag! Anyone else?

Hi Hermit, can't say I like the bag, but having it for forty years makes it just another part of life.

Don't mind the bag; I do dislike my hernia.

Very happy with my bag.

Well ... I wouldn't recommend it ...

But I don't like the alternative much 🤣

My Ostomy Journey: Bruce | Hollister

Love my bag to bits; it's given me the gift of life. I would have died over 30 years ago without my cute little stoma. All the things I would have missed out on—there are no words to describe how good it feels to be alive!

Love both of my permanent bags (urostomy and colostomy). They saved my life.

I'm a bit conflicted about the two temporary bags (nephrostomy and pelvic drain).

Agree. Pretty much just get on with life and ignore it as much as possible. Until it beckons. 🧼😠🚽🧻

I'd rather see "the bag" on someone else though. 🤷‍♂️.

I love my little stoma that saved my life and improved its quality. I might have moments of frustration, but they usually pass quickly.

Well, you know, if you get rid of the two temporary ones, you'll have to relinquish your overachiever status! Although, you are still one ahead of most of us, so maybe not...

I'm ready to pass on my overachiever status. Emptying four bags in a single bathroom trip gets old. 🤣

Not going to complain! I only have two to empty. 🤞👋
