This topic is about a woman in Connecticut who has an ostomy and is experiencing issues with her ostomy bag due to a hernia. Despite consulting with two wound-care nurses, she continues to face problems with leakage or fitting. She learns best through visual and hands-on guidance and is seeking help from other women nearby who might have experience with similar issues.
Here are some helpful suggestions:
1. Identify the specific appliance you are using, including the brand, product line, and product number. This information can help others provide more precise advice.
