@harrison221 I have a colostomy which I think is a little higher…but I assume similar problems. What does the belt do? I have but have never used it. I keep air in my bag so stool can drop into bag easily.

@lrandall51 wear a belt always. I actually did a survey on Ostomy Canada Society and received dozens of replies. The result was a split right down the middle. For me it adds to my sense of security and ties it all together. (Except that sometimes I wake up and stand up and the thing simply falls off.)

I have no name for my pouch either although to me it's a pouch...never a bag. Bag makes it sound so déclassé. LOL.
