Golfing with a Colostomy: Seeking Support Belt Advice

Topic Explanation:

The discussion centers around golfing with a colostomy and seeking advice on suitable support belts to keep the colostomy system secure during golf swings. The original poster, Jay, uses a two-piece Convatec bag system and is looking for recommendations based on personal experiences.

Advice and Insights:

1. Stealth Belt Recommendations:
- Several users recommend the Stealth Belt, particularly the horizontal version, for keeping the bag secure and close to the body. It is noted for reducing leaks and blowouts.
- The Stealth Belt is available in different price ranges, with some users mentioning a cost of around $125 to $150.
- Users have successfully used the Stealth Belt for various activities, including golfing, hiking, and sports like pickleball.

2. Medical Advice:
- It is advised to consult with a stoma nurse or doctor before resuming activities like golf, especially shortly after surgery, to ensure proper healing.

3. Alternative Belt Options:
- Some users mention using a Nu-Hope belt or a Lycra support band from OstomySecrets for additional support.
- A diagonal "Pouchwear" belt is suggested as an alternative to prevent issues like "pancaking" and to allow for better drainage.

4. Practical Tips:
- Carrying a full change of supplies and using flushable doggie bags for discreet disposal is recommended.
- Wearing patterned shirts can help disguise the outline of the bag and belt.
- Using a two-piece bag system allows for easier management in case of a full bag during a game.

5. Personal Experiences:
- Users share their experiences of returning to golf and other activities post-surgery, emphasizing the importance of finding the right support system for comfort and security.
