  • Good on you I wish i could deal with having a bag like you.I am a 56yr old male living in New Zealand got crohns when I was 35 this destroyed my whole large intestine so 7 years ago had an illeostomy but also had my butt stitched up. I have had no end of problems with hernias and am now waiting for my forth revision, this time they are going to lift my illeostomy up to just under my ribs where is is less likely to cause another hernia fingers crossed.

  • You're a heroine Jessica  I wore one for a year,after a while I got used to it.

    Sometimes its more practical than the normal way

  • Well done.

  • I dont understand why you need it. Did you have some type of obstruction

  • Ive had one for 25 years NOT FUN !!! Jeans are a pain as they can release the clip as can underwear and belts aaaaaugh !! Its a daily challenge I have to admit

  • Thank you for doing this. Had an ostomy for six months. Very challenging with lots of complications. You are beautiful, and you are admired for demystifying this.

  • proud of you :)

  • MAN IM GOING TO HAVE THE BAG FOR A SECOND TIME, BUT THIS TIME ITS PERMANENT!" THANKS FOR ENCOURAGING ME JESSICA! GOD BLESS TO EVERYONE!

  • Hey Jessica! We all missed you at Camp Horizon! Threw a stick in the fire for ya!

  • Well done Jessica. I have a Colostomey and i probably try and hide it too much. Good luck with the campaign.
