Hi all, I had my RC 8.1.16 w/ ileal conduit. I'd say I've been very lucky w/ my stoma and pouches so far after reading other posts, as far as healing and leaking. I'm wearing a 2 pc Hollister. Just had stents removed 9.7.16 and have developed an infection either uti or kidney. Very painful left side and lower back.
My problem is what to do this winter...Shorts and t-shirt are easy when dealing with emptying pouch, changing etc. I need advice on what you can and can't do as far as tucking bag into pants, etc. My stoma is about even w/ my navel so the pouch and drain could be tucked in if that doesn't compromise the bag filling properly. Could I just fold the bottom of the bag up so I can tuck in my shirt? It gets cold here. I am trialing my leg pouch now, could I fold bag and adapter up and just tuck tube into pants?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, it seems like a cold way to go w/out being able to tuck at least a t-shirt in.
Thanks, rocksteady
