I have been reading that you always have to wear a bandage with the k-pouch. Can a young girl (or any) wear a bikini, or does the bandage always show? What does the site look like?

Sure! It looks like an ostomy stoma, but smaller and flat. You can wear a bandaid over it. I lived at the beach for 12 yrs right after my KP and wore a bikini constantly. No one asked (although I had a incision scar).
