So, one week from my husband's surgery and after at least twelve bag fails, we finally have a convex wafer holding well. However, now the pouch on this two-piece unit is starting to fail on the back. We are awaiting a kit delivery - there is no replacement wafer available at the moment, but we have three of the pouches. These are Hollister Turn and Lock pouches. Is it feasible to change out only the pouch?
