What don't you like about your bag, neo, or pouch???

Yeah, the phantom thing, this is the first time I heard Gene speak of it, but it is real to him. It just occurred to me what do others fear about there deversion, not to scare anyone but its just the, I didn't know I'd feel this way about that. And the men I knew would come up with Sex being number 1,2 or 3, and rightfully so, it all changes, I am happy with all of Gene's progress, it is intersting to hear everyones answer..personally...Ginger

I have the pouch with a stoma in my belly button. My only complaint is having to have a catheter with me all of the time. On the other hand, anyone who has to wear glasses or contacts could register a similar complaint. I sometimes worry that if I were unconscious, emergency personnel might not think to read my medical alert bracelet.

6 weeks to early to say what you like or dislike about your new diversion....we all hated it...we all mourned our old bladder...i would sometimes forget and sit on the toilet and actually get phantom feelings of having to urinate....
Ask again in 6 to 9 months....You've got it figured out...you're energy has returned..life is back to normal....acceptance has been achieved. I have the Indiana and "Hal" is a part of the family now. I'm completely happy...kind of think this might have been part of the original drawings when contemplating man/woman but revisions brought it down a bit further. Plan B is ok with me. Pat
