Haha, I didn't think of that, but no it certainly isn't THAT bag, I hate that one

Judging by popular opinion on here, you're wrong.

I have had many catheters. I think I've had 8 cystoscopies under general anasthetic in the last 2 years, and mostly woken with a tube shoved up the old msn. However, only once was I discharged with it, and I had it in for 12 days, but being the coward that I am, I didn't leave the house the...

Not quite what I was thinking. But if I could carry it off .........

Imagine waking up after an op to be told you have one. Was a bit of a shock to be sure. I was told beforehand it was a possibility, but it didn't sound likely, so gave it no thought. The op turned out to be bigger than they thought, they had to open me right up, couldn't do it via keyhole.

Brave girl. It's not really a pretty site, even worse with the bag off. I didn't want to look at it myself for the first couple of weeks, my brother-in-law was changing my bag, which is far beyond the call of duty. Thanks Paul. I feel good, can now eat properly, and have had the all-clear on...

Scaredy-cat. If it's good enough for the fine men of Sardinia, it's good enough for a baldy friend of mine.

Probably depends how cute the wearer is. Funny how much can be forgiven for a fittie.

So, a cute little over-shoulder number is not a turn-on for the laydeeze ?

It is rather a fine turn of phrase, I agree.

I was loosing so much fluid through my stoma, that seemed to be the problem. I went in for dialysis last Weds and tney couldn't do it, and found my access for the needdles had a clot, so they admitted me, gave me loads of IV fluids znd operated on my arm on Thurs. The op was successful and they...

Coolio. In actual fact it's not that different from the back pack I wore over my shoulder to work every day, without any qualms. I think I am completely at ease with my manhood (I've just re-read that sentence and it could sound quite dodgy !)

Thanks. Things have improved somewhat. I was back in hospital last week due to dehydration ( "crispy" my surgeon described me as ), I have got more used to managing the thing. I have found products that seem to work for me, although I don't get it right every time, I'm more or less there. We...

I can dig that. The question is, once I've had the next operation and no longer have the stoma and no need for supplies, will I carry on with the bag. Juries' out at the mo, but I do rather like wearing one :)

Hmmm, whilst I wouldn't use my new accessory for my phone, wallet or keys - they never leave my body, there are a lot of supplies needed for managing my new oriface, and it's handy to keep it all together, I call it my "puncture repair kit".

Somewhst at odds with the frequent macho posturings on here, but I am loving my manbag. After my major surgery for bowel cancer a few weeks ago, I was temporarily left with a stoma - this has been discussed elsewhere, if you don't know what that is, I suggest you don't look it up, it is quite...
