So here I am again posting about yet another leak. I woke up at 1:30am, emptied and went back to bed. Only to wake at 5:40am with a leak. This has got to stop as I am getting exhausted. My nurses should be hear in aboutan hour so I pray we can resolve this once and for all.

Hi Pammer, I too have struggled with leaks since my surgery in 2012. Recently I visited my stoma nurse and we cut me a template for cutting wafers and it has helped a lot to have the wafer cut to the proper size. See if they can help you with that. I hope you find relief soon. Penguins7

Pammer,
Just a note of encouragement to keep your chin up and fight on. The constant leaks, sores etc. are quite common. I know that doesn't make you feel better, but hopefully the fact that so many of us have gotten past them will help you to keep the faith that your situation will get sorted.
Hope all went well with the nurse today.
