I have had an ostomy off and on for many years. On the last surgery to reconnect, I ended up with an ileostomy. I have to use different bags, and my insurance doesn't cover them hardly. I have a prescription for them, and I still can't afford to pay the co-pay. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with Ehlers-Danlos Vascular Type 4. So if you know what that is, I already have enough to deal with, and now I am having trouble being able to get my supplies because of the cost. I have tried several different types of bags and found ones that work pretty good, and my insurance won't pay for all of it. They said they are too pricey. Can they do that? I need some advice!!!!
