Swimming

Hi Fraser 

it’s lovely to hear that you’ve got a holiday booked  where are you going?

Did you have a colostomy last time and now you have an Ileostomy?

As for packing I took hand luggage that fitted under my seat with three boxes and then two more in my hold suitcases Eakin slims 24 and everything I could think of. I was advised by SarahH21  whatever I thought double it. Ha ha. I came back with loads but I was super confident away for ten days 

I wore black travelling out and had spare clothes just incase travelling I just drank water. My Ileostomy  needed emptying every time I went to wee, I had no issues with it. 
Have a wonderful time others will be along soon 

Hi we are back off to Turkey two weeks tomorrow , just a bit worried about the bags not staying stuck after swimming last holiday I went in the pool once a day then changed my bag but hope will be able to get more swimming this time and it will be hotter only away for 7 days but I’ll take lots thanks 

Hi Fraser1 

I always think you can take home what you don’t use, but nothing is worse than not having enough! I take at least double what I normally would normally use for the period I am away, and my partner takes more. We put the supplies in hand luggage and have never run out yet! Even with my colostomy I can use more than 3 bags a day if I eat something that doesn’t agree with me, but I have a urostomy too, so it’s more stuff to think about. I know it might be different with the ileostomy, but the bags don’t take up much space. 

Hope you have a lovely time and get plenty of swimming done!

Hi I took the extension strips when I went to Ireland to see my grandchildren and survived an obstacle course and trampoline with them. I stuck it well on.

My son even hugged me really hard just to see if he could pop it. I expected that from him and I said you can squeeze me all you like Whoopis going nowhere

We had such fun though my skin was a little sore afterwards. Worth it though 
Enjoy your holiday 

Thanks I change mind once a day so was thinking off taken enough too change it 3 times may be more 

Hi can I ask what are extension strips ! Sorry never head off them ? They sound a good idea.

Of course.
I got some from my stoma nurses before I went away. I was only allowed two items on my script.I did buy some as well.

Quite expensive
