Living with Both a Colostomy and Urostomy - Seeking Advice

Living with both a colostomy and a urostomy can be a significant change, and it's natural to have concerns about managing two ostomy bags. If you're facing this situation, you might be wondering how to handle it all. Here are some insights and advice from others who have been in similar situations:

- There are people in the community who manage both a colostomy and a urostomy, often referred to as "double-baggers." Knowing you're not alone can be comforting.

- One person shared their experience of having a urostomy before getting an ileostomy. They found that managing the urostomy was easier compared to the colostomy.

- Another member, who has been living with both types of ostomies for nearly six years, described the urostomy as "a breeze" in comparison to the colostomy. They mentioned that while acceptance took some time, they eventually adapted and were able to return to a full and active lifestyle, including travel.

- This member also offered to provide personal guidance through direct messaging, which could be a helpful resource if you're looking for more personalized advice.

Remember, adjusting to life with two ostomies is a journey, and reaching out to others who have been through it can provide valuable support and insights.
