ZERO ISSUES. Was awesome! The first time I did it, I cried a little bit, lol. Just because I never thought I'd do it again. Amazing the little things you take for granted, right? I bought a bikini bottom made for people with ostomies and now I'm at the beach all the time

I am a one year ostomy patient.
I love to swim and have been in the ocean and a pool, with no leaks, but have a hard time finding ladies swim bottoms to fit over my stoma . My husband is taking me to Hawaii beginning of October for our 30th wedding anniversary

and sure would be more comfortable with the 'proper swim outfit'. Where did you order the bikini bottom from?

Claire, I bought it from www.ostomysecrets.com. A word of warning - the suit bottoms run big. I got a small (I'm a size 6 to 8 depending). I just bought a regular $8 Wal Mart bikini top to go with it. Hope that helps!

Hi - I also wanted to share that if you go swim suit shopping early, you may be able to find high rise bikini bottoms. I did and they are great. I actually bought one larger size too and it helped.
I have been googling for high rise swim suits...Victoria Secret has a few selections and I recently went to Macy's department store and they had some very nice options available. Just wanted to pass along the information.
