I am new to this. Just two weeks out from surgery, I have a stoma located midline (above my belly button, between the rib cage). I am a jeans-tee shirt type of gal, and I am having a hard time with finding any pants to wear that look like they might work. I don't want the stoma to be blocked or squeeze the bag so it won't fill properly. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Please let me know if you can help me with any ideas.
Thank you.
