big trouble trying to wear jeans

Hi all, I had a colostomy for 18 years, back for more surgery last October I got a ileostomy, I wore jeans and got along alright with the colostomy, the stoma was lower than my ileo, my waistline lies right on my stoma now, I wear suspenders under my shirts to hold my pants up, does anyone have any thing they share about clothing?

Just a thought, I don't have a stoma but I was wondering if maternity jeans might help? Since they make some with a stretchy cotton front panel, it reaches higher so would probably go over where your stoma is. And with a shirt over the top they would just look like regular jeans.

I might try this, I would live to wear jeans again! :ysmile:
