At home I have a stool in the bathroom and I can place my laptop on it and work from the bathroom if I expect to be there for a long time. I've used it mainly for Colonoscopy Preps.

Your comment alone makes me even want the bag more. For you to even have 27 bowel movements at this timeframe of your journey really makes me wonder if it will get better. The most bowel movements I have now is probably 12 max one bad days. 27 just doesn't seem right, perhaps food? I know you have been on top of this, so I am at a loss at what could of caused it. eating beans?
Either way getting the bag back, should be a major relief in my life. I know Lee had her for 10+ years and she has been happy, so I am looking forward to it. I am getting a colostomy which is less maintenance then an iLeostomy. I will keep you posted.

I have the powder that you sprinkle after cleaning the adhesive. You sprinkle it first then you apply the barrier ring, then the pouch. I was practically a pro with the ileostomy, so I am sure I will kick butt with the 2 piece for colostomy. I guess carrying extra snap on bags going forward will be what I do since I won't do drainable.

Box says it comes with 10 pieces. Does that mean is comes with bag that sticks to stomach and snap on bag that snaps on the stomach bag? LOL...still learning about two piece.
