UCVlog: Changing Ostomy Appliance pt. 1

This is how one changes an ostomy appliance (poop bag). This is kind of a long process so the video is broken into two parts.

Pt. 1: Preparation

Pt. 2: Changing

Found your part 1 particularly helpful. I'm caregiver for my wife who has the colostomy, and we've had a terrible time with leakages in recent months. Has had the colostomy since April '97, and had another surgery in Jan '10 for repair of abdominal hernia and possible takedown that turned out to be not possible. We believe part of the problem was now flatter belly with maybe some concavity since 90% of the leakages in her 3 oclock position of the barrier. Trying hard to find part 2. Help/thanks

@biggeorge96 Part 2 is available if you go to my YouTube channel. It's one of the earliest videos. You have to be signed into your YouTube account since the video is blocked to minors because of the open stoma.

@hanage1 I'm not sure what you are asking. I don't know much about irrigation, or what supplies are good to use. There are other videos on YouTube that talk more in depth about irrigation.

Dennis: After 3 bag changes in 9 hours Dec 17th, the day and the night of the Christmas party, I found you on the internet during the early hours of the 18th. I followed your pt.1 instructions, particularly about washing the stoma and surrounding area, use of the barrier spray, the hairdryer, and rimming the cutout with the rolled up 1/2 barrier ring (the main thing); and have ENJOYED, so far, 4 days each on the last 3 bags. Thank you, thank you, thank you. George and Jane.

Dennis: I figured out the obvious and have viewed part 2, which was also helpful to us. I was especially wanting to see how you used the ostomy and the barrier spray. I think that now, thanks to you, we're back on track. George and Jane

Dennis: Thank you for your prompt response and your good work. I'm afraid I'm guilty of generational computer/youtube ignorance - how do I get to your YouTube channel?
