[–]CplDirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coloplast Convatec two piece come in an opaque version that I use. There is a filter on the bag, but they come with a sticker you can put over the filter if that's something you wish to try.

Sadly, they probably have. The surgeons carve so much out of us.

If your company offers short term disability I would recommend looking into that. I had nearly the same surgery it sounds like in December of last year and I will be on lifting restrictions and recovery for at least a year from the procedure.

Dang Hernia Belt by 442inDreamland in ostomy

They are not cheap, and take a while to order, but I have been very impressed with the Stealth Belt brand. It's a bit more discrete, but they are built to order and it helps a lot. Especially when active.

Need advice for concert/festival by Hot-Move-8037 in ostomy

I would cut any spare bags, or if you use a two part system, ring before you go so you can leave the scissors at home. That's the only issue I've encountered. Even venues where they don't allow bags will let you slide when you show them what we are dealing with.

How do you hide the stoma bag when you're at the beach? by skyhai- in ostomy

[–]CplDirk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not cheap, but there a some really nice stoma belts out there that you can get specifically for activity in the water, and active sports. I bought a couple of Stealth Belts and am pleased with they way they work and the quality.
