So Christmas itself is over for another year. But New Year is looming in the background. If we can just for now forget the medical effects of our stomas and why we've got them, can we just think about the problem of what to wear in these holiday situations. As you've probably gathered I've only had my stoma for 7 weeks now. My bag is very visible even when it's just been replaced. Is there a particular designer whose tops/dresses hide the bulge? Can anyone pass on any suggestions as to what to wear and how please? I love swimming so am thinking ahead on what sort of swimming gear I can wear. This post is not intended to take away the seriousness of the medical aspect of our stomas and bags but we still want to be dressed well, don't we?
