I don’t remember them ever measuring for my ileostomy. It was an emergency surgery though my intestines perforated. Luckily I’m getting it reversed soon

Unless it’s not planned or discussed and you wake up with one that doesn’t hold a seal thank God for my reversal procedure 💕

Freaked me out when getting measured up for mine. Thankfully, I didn't need one, and my resection was successful.

I’m tired of surgeons placing the ostomy right next to the stapled midline incision they made as well

The wound care nurse is the best for locating placement. They did an amazing job asking the questions for activity, belt, and such

My stoma was directly on my pant line and just a little too close to my bellybutton so getting a good seal on my bag was always such a problem 🥲

They don't seem to do this for babies. We frequently have problems getting a good seal.

My son had one as a baby and it was right above where his diaper sat. Didn’t realize that was probably intentional.

Speaking as someone with an ileostomy I learned more in the last two minutes than I've known in a decade with my ileo.
