Hi,
Ok, I was wondering what the wrap I am wearing in this profile pic is? I was going through some photos and saw this. Since the software on this site predates the 2000s, I can't attach a file/photo, or it will not let me even use a Word doc. Also, copy and paste... so I had to make it my profile pic, uncropped lol. Anywho, in my pictures, I have pics of the wrap. You just have to click on my pics; the wrap itself is there, not me in the picture. Anyway, who made this? I cannot remember. It has a hole in it where I guess you could put an appliance—I never did—I am pretty good at hiding a previous surgery and pride myself on my fashion sense. However, does anyone know who made this wrap? It is cloth and cotton. Not tight. Also, it's not a Phoenix belt. It had no hard plastic on it—like some do for openings that I saw. Anyways, thanks. It's so hard to call the companies... they don't know what I am trying to describe. Thanks.
Yeah I have not found it yet lol. Most are maternity type bands- which I think can cause problems in itself because of compression.

Hi gang,
I was thinking what a great resource this site has been for me since I found it. It would have been really helpful, but maybe a bit scary, to have found it before my ostomy, but that's water under the bridge. But I got thinking about it, and now I'm questioning why doctors and hospitals don't provide this site's contact info to any patient even considering an ostomy today. And how can we change that so potential ostomates can learn about the road ahead for them by getting on here and asking questions before the docs go chop-chop. How exactly do you get all hospitals to provide their patients specific information, like this website?
I just happened to find this site something like 4 years after my ostomy when I Googled "ostomy forum" or something like that. But I never found it during previous searches.....so I found this site pretty much by pure luck. We need to find a way to make this site available to new or soon-to-be ostomates......as that's when we really need to commiserate with fellow ostomates. Anybody have any thoughts on how we do this?
Thanks,
Bob
