I recently had surgery (2 months ago) to remove my colon after a 30-month Crohn's flare. I am looking for advice on wearing my dress pants and casual attire. My stoma is located about an inch below my belly button. I can wear my pants just below the stoma, but they restrict the flow into my pouch. My current wardrobe of pants does not work wearing above the stoma. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am back to work and struggling with wearing pants. Thanks.
