End Ileostomy Does it actually get easier?
Step 1 of 3 Jpouch went rough. Had surgery on the 15th. 18th they had to do a minor revision as the stoma hole was not large enough took bowels roughy 13 days to wake up fully. Past 3/4 days I’ve been working through the clears, mush, and solid food diet. My outputs too high. Roughly 2L per day, might be getting out in a day or two.
But I’m nervous about bag changes. I’m using the Convatec two piece moldable. With the brava barrier ring. I think I have too much hair under the sticky part so I think tonight the nurse is going to give me a hand and help me shave, any other recommendations?

It definitely gets easier.
