I have had an ileostomy for 3 weeks now, which is going to be reversed at some point. I am using Hollister appliance and bags which seem to do very well as long as I'm lounging around and not moving much. However, when I try to go to work and wear dress pants the appliance seems to leak every night after I get home. I am an insurance agent and I am constantly sitting and standing, as well as driving.
My stoma is very flat and egg shaped. We have switched to a convex appliance.
Have you also encountered this? What do you suggest for me to do to fix this problem? I can't go out of the house with confidence.
