Good luck moving forward. You will do fine and you will find the right appliance. Like I said, I have no leaks and i only change it every four days. The leg bag will be super easy so you’ll do well. Hang in there.

Thanks for the encouragement....

Hopefully the VA will go along with use of a leg bag.

A quick question....

Within the next few weeks the VA should be scheduling a urostomy.

A common problem appears to be urine leakage close to the stoma due to poor adhesion of the pouch.

Since urine will continue to drip from the stoma during pouch changes, what can be done, if anything, to keep the surrounding skin dry?
