I had my ostomy for 4 months, (just reversed a week ago) and while I greatly disliked it from start to finish, I got a little used to it, and got really fast at appliance changes and empties! I could go 6 days without changing the whole thing and had very little problems with leaks!

Oh, if you have cats, be carefull picking them up, or having them near your lap! They can put a pin prick sized hole in your bag without you noticing! Learned that one night...

Thank you Rhea,

Michael
