If it seemed like you had an unlimited amount of questions before your surgery, how it is that that infinite number seemed to double once you were out of surgery? We can’t answer that question, but we can help you out with many of the other questions you have. We’re here to guide you through the process of receiving a stoma and building a happy, healthy, full and confident life with an ostomy pouch. We have information that covers everything from coping with the first time your doctor mentions an ostomy as a possibility, to thoughts and feelings about your stoma after surgery, to you feeling well enough to head back to work or take that first post-surgery vacation, and much more!

Dear Laura, I wear a two piece ostomy bag. I need help with concealing an ostomy bag. When I move around my shirt hikes up and the tip of the bag peeks out from under my shirt.
