Elady,
So you work for the police dept. well you were right i am a
firefighter, and this has been real hard on me to have gone from
riding the truck to a desk job. But hay I look at it this way i am
still alive and am going to have it reversed in July so i will be
back on the truck before long. Do you know anyone that has had it
reversed and if so is the surgury as bad as the first, And how long
are you down and out. Well it is good to talk to you and see you soon.
Jeremy

sure you have enough room on top i always left enough to cover the
entire bag Top then securing the bag, and you can see the liner once
you have clipped on you bag. When I experience leakage you mean from
the wafer, it was because my stool was not of semi loose consistency
which made the stool stay in a positon where the remainder of the
stool would not pass Thus, causing the wafer to open up and Poop to
spu out. My advise is to drink plenty of liquids to keep your bowels
from becoming too pasty, also you might want to reinforce the wafer
w/tape. I know its a hassle at times, but once you start to regulate
your bowel movements you will know how to perfect it towards your
needs. I wish you luck and Let me know how it works out. I purchase
my liners from edge park medical, In their new catalog they are
offering this new system 2-piece, which the bag is closed and when
you need to empty it you just throw away the whole pouch and put a
clean one on. you might want to give edge park a try they are having
a promotional try on system, I don't know if they are biodegradable.
