Hi all, does anyone out there have an ostomy too low to see to change the appliance without using a mirror and then use one hand to place the appliance on? The surgery was done out of state and now the surgeon says because mine was an emergency, I was not measured and it is much too low. Now my health doesn't seem to be well enough for another surgery to correct it. I get lots of pain and when I walk because of the position the appliance is in, it rubs back and forth causing me pain all the time. I appreciate it if anyone else has this problem to let me know. Thanks and good health to all, Joyce.
