I've had my ostomy for about a year and a half and don't understand why there isn't a readily available disposable device/shield out here to protect and keep your bag waterproof during a shower - any suggestions out there? Guess I'm missing something? Btw- Reversals - I've had two unsuccessful attempts - bottom line until they gut you (me 4 times total) - they don't really know what's up - false hope is a real drag - physically and emotionally - wish I'd never listened to my doctors' advice and just got on with living this different life; my body and mind would have been much better off. But that's just my experience - for what it's worth. Good luck to those who will try.
