I had emergency surgery in March 2012 for perforating diverticulitis. I have been using a one-piece bag with wafers or paste. I was told to do this by the nurse in the hospital and am just wondering if the wafer/paste is really necessary. I don't really like the paste, and the wafers are too expensive (I have to pay for my supplies out of pocket). Just looking for some suggestions to keep cost to a minimum. Thanks.
