i went for my test to see if i had any leaks in the new plumbing and when they shot the contrast in my anus it shot out the side of my bag(sprung a leak). i told the tech and he handed me a bucket and told me to open up the pouch and drain it. i said , hey idiot, its not going into the bag, its shooting out the side of my bag. so i had to walk around for an hour and throughout the cleveland clinic with a towel pressed firmy against my abdomen to prevent and poo poo leakage and go to the ostomy and wound dept. i did not have an appt. with them for 3 more hours but i called and they took me right away. also my surgeon bumped me up and saw me right away also. cant say enough about the clinic and the great people that work there.

That's encouraging to hear. I'm going there for surgery soon.

Hope all goes well with your takedown!
