Tips please on Attaching Bag so no Leaks

No that’s really good. Who are you with 

Am I allowed to advertise on here?

Not sure of the rules

Oh no sorry wasn’t I thinking. Im okay with mine they’re  fast and polite. 

Hi Katz

When you mentioned a location I immediately thought of my supplier so we may well be with the same one! Actually,I suppose I should check what we can and can’t say about products and suppliers-don’t want to unwittingly break any rules.

Hi Katz

i just realised about the script. My GP automatically authorises my order.

Maybe that’s why I’m on two.

My stoma nurse set up the electric script in the very beginning. My supplier said that my orders are fast because it’s electronic. so I can phone them and order two items plus ask for the complimentary things if needed. I don’t go through my Doctor. 

Thats good.its my gp who has the strange system.the stoma nurse said that some just like it thatway.Im used to it now so its ok.I just allow time for the gp end of the system

I didn't go through my GP .My Stoma nurse set it all up and I had a. 4weeks repeated order and they phoned me inbetween to see how I was getting on .If I had any problems with anything they would send it in 24 hours..My GP must have pulled there hair out ..At the start they questioned  my medicine  Bad move any Consultant  took them to the cleaners .They never  did that again .

Great to hear SarahH21, as time passes you will get more and more confident with what you wear and in general day to day life. With my colonostomy I adapt a little what I wear and have developed a different style but all good. 

Hi Artsie,

Sorry for not seeing this post earlier, I’ve been taking a break from forum and only now trying to catch up with posts.

I had LAR Jan 2021 with stoma. Leaks in hospital but sorted with convex bags and belt and fine for 5-6 weeks then leaks started. Eventually sorted (Cranshafts advice) using Salts Aloe rings with my convex bags – a couple of leaks in October – then none again until December and many leaks (up to 4 a day) also output was burning, quite green & often pancaking. I couldn’t work out why the change and even spoke to Salts in case the batch of rings was the issue.

However, I’ve since realised that in the build up to Christmas I was eating a richer diet and not having my probiotic yoghurt and fresh blueberries daily as I have done for months. I’m now back to religiously having the probiotic yoghurt and blueberries and leaks have stopped. Could be coincidence, but might be worth considering.

Best Wishes,

Definitely,  

Thanks for the tip I will definitely give that a try.
