| Posted By: Sandra Brandenburg Posted On: Jan 9, 2008 Views: 1628 | Ostemy Bags. Hello How is everyone, I am scheduled on the 17th of January to have a colonoscapy, and at that time my Doctor will be trying to stuff a balloon through my ileum to enlarge it, it has narrowed so much it is almost closed all the way. In 200 I had all but ten inches of my colon removed due to adheasions and obstructions and scar tissus from previous surgeries. The Doctor says if the balloon does not work, and he does not seem to have much hope about that, they will have to cut above my ileum, and remove all of that section of my small intestines, plus the remainder of my colon and put me on an ostemy bag. This of course has me scared, but it would be nice to be pain free, and not have to live on laxatives, that don't really work that well. My big question is can someone tell me the good, and bad part about having to wear an ostemy bag. Thank you. Sandy Brandenburg. |
| Posted By: Al Posted On: Jun 25, 2006 Views: 2469 | ostomy concern I recently had an ostomy. I am having a problem with the collection bag leaking. It seems that I have to change it, sometimes 4 times a day, because it leaks around the exterior of the wafer. Has any one had this problem? and if so, is there a way to correct this problem? Any help will be appreciated. |
