I had a illiostomy and am going on my 6th week after surgery. Can I wear the ostomy belt now?

Hi carolgeb60. Your ostomy nurse or surgeon would accurately advise you, but I can't think of a reason why you could not wear one. I started wearing one 4 days after surgery.

This site has been a life saver for me and I am so thankful I found it. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and Hanukka and if you don't claim either holiday, I hope you have a nice day.
