Hawaii Adventure: Flying COD to a Navy Ship and Back

This topic is about an adventurous journey taken by someone with an ileostomy, which included flying to Hawaii and experiencing a unique military flight to an aircraft carrier. The story highlights how the ileostomy pouch held up under challenging conditions, offering reassurance to others with similar concerns about traveling.

Here are some helpful insights and advice from the experience:

1. Confidence builder: Even in situations with extreme G-forces, tight seat belts, and long travel days, an ileostomy can remain secure. Don't let having an ostomy stop you from flying or embarking on other exciting adventures.

2. Product choice matters: One traveler found that switching to Coloplast flanges and pouches solved their leakage issues, making them feel more secure during active trips, like those to Hawaii.

3. General encouragement: Keep an active lifestyle and work towards making your routine resilient to unexpected quirks. This way, worries about potential leaks won't limit your plans or adventures.
