Hi everyone, I've got a few extra stoma supplies that I'm not going to use and was wondering if anybody here might need them or have any ideas on what I should do with them?

Some barrier rings, flat coloplast 1 piece pouches (4), belts and mefix self adhesive fabric-all unopened. If you need anything let me know and it's yours,or thoughts on what to do with them. Seems a waste to discard.

Thanks

Check in your area for a Colostomy/Ileo Support Group. I am sure there are folks there who would be happy for the gift.

Yes check your nearest cancer survivor network organization. Me the wafer and bags I've being using for the past 12+ years is being discontinues, really :shock: !!!!

I've contacted Hollister, butt also decided seeing an Ostomy nurse may be my best path. What is new out there, etc as far as wafer and bags, etc. If it works, why try and fix it. At this point, I have no choice.

I like to donate to Ostomy 2-1-1. It's a nonprofit run by Deb Fox. Donations can be mailed to her at the address below. She can provide you a receipt for your tax deductible donation (I think it's $50/pound).
