Pouch not sticking

I think I remember they sell this putty stuff that you can use to help with the seal. Maybe give your surgeon a call and see if they have suggestions. They would give me samples of stuff to try.

Three years ahead, I went bonkers the first few weeks when I had my temp loop.

Nothing worked. I was changing the appliance several times a day.

Finally a kind nurse in the middle of the night told me to abandon the paste .

i was instructed to clean, dry and shave the area. I then applied the special powder (I don’t  remember the name).

I was then instructed to gently blow dry with heat, the ring, place the ring on, and then gently blow dry with heat the ring again to firmly seal it in place.

i never had another leak again.

Apparently, in the hospital before discharge, the stoma nurse did not take into account my non-flat belly and therefore, paste would never work for me.

arrrrg, I still have nightmares about that loop.

i hope I was helpful.

I will try your suggestion. Not using paste except to fill in belly button. Problem area is right above pelvic area where i have fold everytime sit up.

Thanks
