I'm rather new at this and would like to know how others handle swimming when you have an ostomy--especially the men? My wife and I are going on a cruise in about 2 weeks and I am really anxious about swimming. My colostomy is high on the left (above the beltline). I normally use Sensura 2-piece. It has been suggested that I use a short-sleeve wetsuit but I think that would be awfully hot in the tropics. What do you think?
