I had a colostomy on 6/1/2023. I’m doing fairly well. The difficulties I’m having are constipation and pancaking. Living in an independent living facility so am limited by food choices and taste changes from radiation and chemo following dx of throat cancer. Am trying stool softeners that I don’t think is working very well. Other issue is the ostomy pouch and adhesive laying on stitches from surgery. I’m told it may take 6-9 months before they dissolve. The pressure of the bag is enough to cause the pouch to be uncomfortable. Has anyone dealt with that issue? Thanks. Nancy
