Hi. My name is Craig and I had my operation 10 weeks ago.

Hi and congratulations on your recovery. To be honest there’s not a lot of specialists in trousers that I’m aware of although I found this on the Colostomy uk site

I think it’s a case of finding what is comfortable for you and where the bag sits - you dont want a tight waistband or belt fitting across the bag and restricting your output going in. I notice one of the sites mentioned was Craghoppers which I think is like outdoor/walking trousers which may have an elasticated back waistband which may help? Have you also looked at the underwear that you can get on prescription (although not in Scotland I’m afraid) The underwear has a pocket which your bag sits in which offers some reassurance - the only swing we want is your club not your bag!

Lastly please check with your stoma nurse to see if she recommends a belt to prevent a hernia and she will be able to measure you for this.

Good luck going forward and nice to hear that you’re doing so well.Hopefully some of the guys on the board will be along with some top tips too

Take care
