[glow=green,2,300]Hey all
Im a 15 year old girl this Hirschsprungs, and its starting to upset me. My Colostomy is getting frustrating as the pants get lower and the shirts higher. I have to buy a size 5 pants just so they go high enough, when really im a 2 or 3. Then I have to get a hudge shirt (med. or large) so that it will cover my bag with room to spare so if I raise my hand it won't show. It's frustrating. Baggy pants and now mid-drift showing- ever- is really not a style that is WANTED by many teenage girls.
I have come to this board to ask what I could do to get the bag to lie flatter. I have seen those bag covers and they look nice, and those gave me the idea to see if any of those bag covers are flesh colored? Basicly is there any way to hide the bag so that I dont have to be so consious? Id like to show a bit of mid-drift... I mean one side of my stomach is completly normal... ugh... im not tryng to look like a slut or anything but it'd be nice to get to wear fashionable clothing... ugh. I dunno I feel like im ranting now.
My bag is even with my belly button on my right side... if that makes any difference. They removed my large intestine and part of my small, so the out-put is pretty frequent, im not sure if the "Incontinence Gard" at www.cmostomysupply.com will work for me, although if it would that would be so wonderful....
I guess im looking for guidence or fashion tips... thanks
