Default Ileostomy

Anybody here had an ileostomy? I have to have one in a couple weeks and would like to get some insight to every day living with the bag....

I provided some links regarding ostomies in one of your other threads:

I had one for a year, but do not believe my experience was typical.

I'm sorry, Andrea. That sounds just awful to have to deal with!

Hoping everything goes well for you.

No I don't have one, but if you have any particular questions I just might be able to assist. I'm an RN, and until recently did look after people who had ileostomies, among other osomies. Please let me know if there's anything in particular I might be able to help you with, and I'll try to answer.
