@pidge32 that's fantastic! Can I suggest that before you leave the appointment you book a follow-up? You can cancel it if you don't need it, but it might be reassuring to check if things are going well, and try something else if they are not.

If you want a support belt and don't have one, ask about a Nu-Hope ostomy belt - the WOCN should be able to measure you and order one.

Are you still having home health coming? If so, you might have to order supplies through them. If not, you might want to have the WOCN make sure you are getting the right supplies from your supplier. It sounds like you are managing your changes yourself?

I'm glad you are getting in person support! Some things are just hard to figure out online.

Had my appointment with the WOCN nurse. She was a great help. Hopefully we’re on the right track. My husband manages my changes. Don’t know what I would do without him.
Home Health ended some time ago but they helped us get started with the ordering of our supplies.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for all your help.
