Topic Explanation:
The initial post discusses the experience of a person with a hernia and a change in product lines for their ostomy bags. They are curious whether the extended use of the bags (up to 7 days) without major issues is due to the hernia or the product line.

Advice and Insights:
1. Some individuals have successfully used their ostomy bags for 7 days without major issues, while others change their bags every 4 days or even every 3 days.
2. Trust your instincts and feelings about when to change the bag, especially if insurance covers the supplies.
3. Finding the right appliances can take time and experimentation, as it took one person 5 years and many blowouts before finding the right products.
4. It's important to test different products to find the one that works best for individual needs.
5. Some individuals have experienced success with specific product lines, such as the Sensura Mio Click with a wafer, and have had no problems using it for an extended period.
6. It's noted that being able to use a bag for 7 days without issues is rare, and the person who has achieved this is considered lucky.

Helpful Insights:
- The discussion also includes some lighthearted comments and personal experiences, but they are not directly related to the topic of long-lasting bags and hernias.
