The Baggie Club - Your questions answered - May 20.

Hi all

This month sees the start of a new monthly thread I have titled 

1. The Baggie Club - Your questions answered  - May 20. 

( A new thread will opened up every month.

This will be the place to ask questions about anything to do with your stoma management that is causing you concern, or just looking for advice on pouches, additional products available, support garments or relationship issues it is not intended to divert you away from your stoma care nurse but to give you the opportunity to speak with others who have to wear a bag. 

In the group we have

• members at all stages from newbies to old hands, 
• members who've had different procedures, 
• members who remained with us after a reversal to advise and support others going through the process or thinking about having one or are waiting to be reversed and importantly those who need advice after the procedure, 
• for colostomates (only) who have heard about Irrigation we have a few members who are successfully irritating and will talk you through the procedure and give you tips.

The doors are open 7 days a week, from early morning until late at night and I occasionally check in during the night

I hope that the Baggie Club will be of help to you and I will be inviting our friends over in the anal, bladder, bowel, ovarian and kidney groups to join us.

All questions will be answered even the ones that you may think to be stupid or daft so now, in this space, you can ask that question that's been bothering you for a while and have been reading every post to see if someone would ask it for you.

Making Living Life with a Stoma manageable together.
