Hi all, I've thrown away the size chart that came with my latest order (doh!).. and I now find that I probably need to change my pouch size. I'll add a new chart to my next order, but in the meantime does anyone have an emailable printable copy, a link to such online, or other suggestion for a quick fix? Currently using Hollister 26830. Any assistance gratefully received. Thanks.

Hello Nanny-ogg. I have found that telephoning the manufacturers with such a dilemma results in an immediate posting of whatever I need. I would therefore suggest that you don't wait until your next order but get in touch straight away and explain your problem.
Best wishes
Bill

When I found this web site, I didn't think its name had anything to do with actually meeting an ostomate but I later learned there were some folks who did meet and develop relationships. How good is that? That wasn't my intention. I definitely didn't want anyone to meet me. I felt broken and wasn't prepared to express those feelings. I thought it was a place where ostomates wrote about themselves, posed questions, shared thoughts, told jokes and, sometimes, just vented. I thought of it as a community of folks with similar interests and various degrees of experience. Mostly I found some of the most caring, selfless, wise and understanding people I ever imagined. I was so impressed with some of the writings; not because of their literary value but the way in which they addressed such a very complex environment. I read hundreds of exchanges and admired the way folks cared for each other. I became hopeful with my own situation and looked forward to the next day's offerings. Certainly some contributors stood out with their experience or particular skills in addressing some things but it seemed like a total effort with synergistic results. I felt blessed to have found this site. I still do.

Excellent suggestion, Bill. I'll call the major distributors first thing in the morning. Thanks for your reply.

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.

I used a size guide 11 years ago when I first had a stoma. For the past 10 years, I have just got my scissors and cut my stoma hole freehand. Within a couple of millimeters, hit or miss, I never have any problems...
