Your smiling face and advice is such a boost and encouragement to me I cannot put it into words. I am only 5 days out of surgery and you have been like an angel to me.
thanks Laura. As someone who is about to have the operation, your videos have taken away a lot of the mystery and thus a lot of the anxiety and fear. i hope you know how much this means to me. Ron
Thank you so much for these videos. My brother is 16 and just had surgery today for his crohns and we were just told he will need an ostomy. Seeing how happy you are and willing to help others is awesome. Thanks
Colostomy here. Much thicker stool than you have with the ileostomy. I have found that pouring a little warm water in the bag loosens things up well enough to get it out without much trouble. Then I rinse with more warm water before closing it. I have tried the sitting backwards or on the back of the seat but for me the best way has been to simply squat or lean over the bowl.
Thank u so much for this video, I have Crohn's and my treatment options are dwindling I have been so anxious about a bag for so long, u really make that not seem so drastic U have an awesome attitude about it Again thank u❤️
As an overweight person, it's difficult to sit on toilet to empty my ostomy. Also, having bad knees makes it difficult to always be able to kneel in front of toilet. So I pour water in mine to loosen everything up and then I empty it into a small container (used ONLY for this, of course) and when I'm finished, I empty the container into the toilet.
The video was a great explanation, thank you! Even though mine is a UR-ostomy, and have had it a couple years, I will try your first sitting technique to help eliminate splashing.
I'm making a vlog about it right now with my boyfriend. It'll be up tonight, tomorrow, or the day after! :) Thanks for the question. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. It's a topic I wondered about a lot before I had surgery and I couldn't find much of an answer anywhere!
Great! Do you use squirt bottles? I am still using clamp bags as I have discovered that the Velcro bags can leak at the bottom. you have to be careful -there is one small piece of thinner plastic in the folding chain -don't damage that!
Thank you for your Video & great attitude. I am so concerned as I have a relative that has temporary Colostomy bag & nursing care has only changed it once in 9 days???
I haven't decided yet, but you may have possibly saved my life. I'm recently diagnosed with colon cancer, and deciding between letting cancer run it's course, vs. having an ileostomy. Seeing how comfortable you are with it makes me somewhat less resistant to the idea. How often do you have to empty it?
I have an ileostomy and it doesn't come out as watery. I'm assuming that after many years my body has adapted to absorb more water through the small intestine since I have no colon. You might want to rinse the bag with a little water after emptying so it doesn't get horribly smelly.
I am becoming a travel agent, I am planning on groups who travel yearly on say a 7 day or 12 day cruise Would a Colostomy, Urostomy, Illiostomy Group travling together be a thing Ostomates would like? If so let me know I will be checking back to see if Ostomates are interested in a Yearly Ostomates Cruise. Meeting other ostomates would be helpful dating wise since some don't date due to Ostomy.
Muchas gracias yo no savia como vaciar mi bolsa lo hacia de pie y se me caia al piso y me sentia muy frustrada gracias por tomar su tiempo y ayudar a hacerlo de la forma correcta
I just had my surgery a fews ago now have a permanent ostomy, that's a great way to empty the bag sitting on the commode, I would have never thought of it,I been standing...thanks for the info!
I had my ostomy for 2 mths but have pancaking often. What/How should I do if feces is thick 82 drain from pouch. I empty pouch 5xs a day bcuz of pancaking. Any suggestions will b honored. GOOD video & hoping I to will b happy once am able to manage my new life as a ostomer.
just a question, not pervy but i've seen tons of questions on yahoo answers, about people who have the ostomy bag, some people are very embarrased of their bag to have sex. you have any suggestions to people who are self consious about it!? (a vlog talking bout it would be great) thanks
I stand or set to emptying my ostomy. I when I go to empty mine I poor a liitle water in my pouch and then empty it in the tollet . .I have had mine foe over 10 years.
I have no idea the difference bet ileostomy and colostomy but anyway iam colostomy for 6 years now and for that period of time i figure out how to empty my bag more efficiently and quick as i can. So heres my technique,first i always bring with me a rod w/c mm in diameter and about 10 cm long where i roll up my toilet paper to clean the inner portion of my bag. It is so wasting too much of toilet paper in just rooling up just like that and besides it will not hold much to bring out that sticky solid pof.my rod is made of aluminum i see to it that it will slide easily even when its wet.anyway I bought that rod in a local hardware.so thats all folks im only sharing my experience.good luck guys.god bless us all.dont lost hope.
I'm about to have an ostomy bag after my upcoming surgery, they are saying it will be temporary but damn I am so not looking forward to living like this.

Thank you! I guess youtube does have videos for everything. I'm working with my mother to get comfortable doing this on her own. THis is so helpful!

Jackie Rager I do this too. I put a small amount of water in my container, makes it easier to dump.

thanks Ostomystory. just got a bag 3/28 and watching vids on emptying. good advice and info. thanks again.
Great tips for those that need to know different positions for emptying! Thanks for doing this video

how often do you have to change your bag ?
Hello, nice job & thanks for the quick easy video. I will definitely tell people to check it out for information on how to empty.
I used to change every 3 to 4 days. Now I change about every 4-6 days, depending on how well my seal is sticking.
Great! Do you use squirt bottles? I am still using clamp bags as I have discovered that the Velcro bags can leak at the bottom. you have to be careful -there is one small piece of thinner plastic in the folding chain -don't damage that!

for no reason my stomach is tingling, can some one explain what i am seeing ?
Can it be reviewed
Can someone please explain to me what this is? How she got it? And what it does?

I'm about to have an ostomy bag after my upcoming surgery, they are saying it will be temporary but damn I am so not looking forward to living like this.
people with a normally functiong intestine should be grateful.
For closing the bag I find folding the first flap down and then the next two get folded up. It makes a thinner seal.
I’m confused... so like you poop out of your stomach kinda? I’m confused how it works oof
