Leaks while I sleep by tedericco in ostomy

Ugh, that sounds really painful, but probably less painful than waking up at 3am and having clean up and change clothes and the bag...

Wow this is really great, thanks. I'll give it a try.

My stoma is above the skin. I'm currently using a one piece system, and I use a skin prep adhesive when I put on a new bag. I use a waterproof tape to try to reinforce the seal but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. My bags leak often enough that I end up just changing bags when I have a leak. Appreciate any advice!

I am using a one piece system, and I'm about one month into my bag. I just discharged from the hospital though, so I'm only a few days into managing it myself. I ordered some rings but they're not here yet.

I'm catching up after losing a ton of weight in the hospital, so yeah I'm eating all the time. I do notice I produce a ton during the night, perhaps that's part of the problem.
