The longest I can get by without a leak is three days any longer and I have a problem.
This all began when the surgeon did the second surgery due to a prolapse on the other half of my intestine. It pushed through the stoma hole and caused a problem. The surgeon removed about 9” of intestine and sewed it to the stoma intestine. I have a little gully now in with my stoma intestine and the leak emanates from that intestine. Tried everything and also working with the WOCN. It looks like I’m doomed to changing every 3 days.
As far as the back up problem I have to make sure I use the deodorant liquid every time I drain and that helps. Makes things a little watery but at least it’s moving down.
