My mother had a surgery where her urostomy bag was placed on 12/15/22. After some time in the ICU she was placed in the step down unit. Once she arrived there, that is when the problems arose. It has been one month and her bag leaks constantly. The most she has gone is 1-2 days with the same bag. Most of the time the bag, which is changed by the hospital staff in her rehab facility she is staying at only lasts a couple of hours before it starts leaking and gets her bed soaking wet. It has been a nightmare for her, she can't go one night without a bag needing to be changed 2 or three times a night. I have changed the bag once or twice. It does not matter if it is changed by the doctor, the nurses or her children. It never sticks for more than a couple of hours. It always leaks. the worst part is that she also has a colostomy and when the urine bag leaks, it gets the adhesive of the colostomy bag wet which causes potential leaks in the colostomy as well. Please please help. My mom is living in agony, she is soaking in urine every day. I really think the surgery was botched. The doctors keep passing the buck and avoiding the responsibility.
