I make sure I wear the belt and I always bring additional supplies!  You can do with a bag everything that anyone without a bag can do, just take extra precautions.  I always try not to eat too much prior, digestion time, so the bag won't fill up and be a problem for me.  It all works out well!!  Don't let the bag slow you down!  I loathe this bag but I won't let it rule me.  It'll be gone soon, so I keep that in mind.
Play and have fun, enjoy!!!!

I vacationed in the Dominican Republic, went boating and also "Snooba" diving, basically underwater about 30 feet or so for about a half hour with my loop ileostomy.  I'm not sure I'd want to submit the seal to hours and hours underwater, but had no problems.  While I didn't have a belt, I think that might not be a bad idea for extra security!

 

 

I have been wondering the same thing. The surgeon told me I could return to surfing a couple weeks after the temp ileostomy  - not sure I'll be up for it but I'm going to try. I'm going to go bonkers if I can't get in the water for a couple months.

I say go for it!  I truly don't think there's an absolute reason why water is out of the question.  I have also been in pools (probably about 3x) jumping in, swimming around - the whole nine, with no adverse effects!

 

Hang 10!

good question! My 16 year old stepdaughter just had step one of her jpouch surgery 2 weeks ago.  She has done so well adjusting to the bag. Getting it wet still freaks her out though. 

I went swimming in a creek visiting our son. I didn't wear nothing extra on my bag. Just my one piece swimsuit. Did great.
