Maybe I missed some info, but is this for a urostomy /ileal conduit?
I’ve 2 months out of cystecomy and doing much better overall. So many different products out there. Initially started with Hollister, now a combination of that and Coloplast appliances/ bag systems. ( urostomy ) have learned I may not always need stoma powder if site is ok. We totally stopped using “barrier” wipes COMPLETELY. If you don’t pad off the powder, it can run into leaking issues. Also, not all stoma nurses are practicing the same. They have different product recommendations- depends on your body shape. There are a LOT of products out there. It will take some time, you’ll have some incidents, but it will get better.

@conchman Yes, it’s for a radical cystectomy . He’ll be getting a stoma and the nurse gave him Coloplast. He’ll be using that also. The next day, fierce the surgery was all done. Were you able to get up and walk around the hospital? Thank you xx
