What is Life like after Bladder Removal?

@marysews UPDATE: My stoma size has settled, and hubby ordered a punch that's the size of my stoma. When it arrives, we will test it out. Meanwhile, we have graduated to him placing the wafer with the cutout onto my skin and placing the bag over it, and then I click it together because my fingers are smaller.
About two weeks ago, the night bag was so heavy that the clear plastic clip opened and spilled onto the floor. After cleaning that up, I started the habit of placing a plastic bin under the bag. That was a good idea because the next bag did the same thing, but it was contained in the bin.

@marysews I’ve been keeping mine in a bin as well. Have been having some issues with a small amount of leakage where the pouch valve connects to the overnight bag tube and have placed a disposable bed pad underneath it to cut down on laundry. Not sure why this is happening lately although I have been sleeping on my side more .
