Today I saw my surgeon (after not having to see him for 4 years!) and he told me my colostomy and very large hernia are here to stay. My insides are too messed up for him to try any more surgeries on my abdomen. He did tell me though, that I need to wear a binder for the hernia with a hole cut out for the colostomy. He said there are some out there that can be made specifically for your needs. Does anyone know who makes these / where I can order one?

Julie,
Hello, where do you get your supplies? Did you check there?

I get my supplies at Bryam Healthcare. They do have binders. I guess now I'd like to know if anyone has one that they think is comfortable.

MEETANOSTOMATE REVIEW.
I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Hey Julie,
I did a quick search for ostomy binders and came up with this.....http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=124464. I don't know if it is what you are looking for but thought I would show it to you.

Thanks, Mrs. A, that was helpful. I was really hoping there would be someone on here with reviews on some...

Hey, I am using the NuForm (?) ones sold through Byrum, the hole is custom cut to fit. I get the lightweight ones, the Velcro is very good and stands up well. When you call, you will need the size of your flanges...I wear them nearly every day, but definitely for walks and exercising or housecleaning etc. Good luck! I hate the hernia, but like you, no surgery in my future!

Try eBay. Also, I'd seen some on a site a couple months ago. Can't remember where. It wasn't hard to find, though. Start with Edgepark.com and go from there. Seems there are links everywhere. God bless!

Hi Juli, even when I talked to my insurance, they said that Brian Media Supply doesn't cover it. I found from Convatec; they have a belt. I tried Hollister, but they don't have a belt.
