I haven't flown since I got my ileostomy. I used to love to fly, so easy and convenient. Now I am terrified. I have heard horror stories about going through TSA checkpoints with an ostomy. Knowing what it was like pre-ostomy, this makes me really apprehensive. So what is it like? What do I need to know? What do I need to do? I really want to get back in the air. I have an ileostomy that is high output, so that can be a challenge.
