Hi everyone.
Having really bad problems with bag leakages both day and night time.
A bit of what's been going on:
I've lost 54 lbs in weight since Christmas. Great, I hear you all say, but I'm afraid not. Stoma has sunk. When I stand or sit, you cannot see my stoma at all. I have tried at least 10 different bags and seals to no avail. The consultant has stated that he doesn't want to re-fashion my stoma due to me stating I'm wanting to lose some more weight. He says we will only be in the same position 6 months down the line! I have got urine sat in a "well" around my stoma.
I'm trying to get on with my life, but it's soooooo hard at the minute.
Any advice of where I can go now?
Hugs,
Tine
