Hi all I went to the conference. If you travel, make sure to ask for a pss rep if TSA gives you a hard time.

I learned alot at the stoma clinic. Make sure your cutting your holes the right size. They used some stoma seals, I know that they prevent leaks.

I think that the conference was great to talk and share and not feel alone.

ask anything

Thank you for sharing and based a story Tom Sewyer share, there is a card you can print from the www.tsa.com site specifically for patients will a medical condition. He was mishandled by security that caused his urostomy bag to tear and he graciously got on the plane with urine down his pants. After he told his story, congress invited him to a meeting to help prevent further problems.
