The daily maintenance for a colostomy is significant. I only had a colostomy for 90 days but watched my step-father deal daily with his for 30 years. Colostomy would not be my first choice if I could deal with incontinence with nutrition, food intake schedule, over the counter medications, pelvic floor exercises and planning, and when all else fails an occasion Depends
