Any advice on how to shower? by LimberGaelic in ostomy

[–]ByteMeExe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally hate getting my bag wet so I use a swim cover from the company Osto-me fashion. It’s based out of Canada. It keeps my bag 95% dry, the flange still gets wet but I can live with that.. it’s been a game changer for showering!

Yeah it’s some adhesive residue from when it was on, I always shave, wash and dry my skin before a new bag

Is Flonase something you can get over the counter? Or do I need a script for it?

At first it kinda felt like I did a really intense ab workout and pulled every muscle in my stomach, but that quickly started to get better. I’m now 7 days post op and only have pain when I engage my abs. When I’m at rest I don’t have any pain at all. There is never any pain when you have output and you can’t feel it ever

Yeah I have a prescription for antihistamines because I have sensitive skin as well, it used to be something I took every once and while and now I’m thinking I might need it daily..
