Hi new fellow ostomates,
I just wanted to share the method Mt Sinai started me on, and take lots of comments and suggestions.
They use the Hollister New Image Cut to Fit Two Piece.
They give this ordering list to start out:
14603 - New Image Cut to Fit Flange
18123 -New Image Pouch
25542 - Convatec Stomahesive Strips
25510 - Convatec Stomahesive Power
They suggest these suppliers:
Byram Healthcare and Edgepark Medical.
I just called Byram and placed my initial order.
Here is their method in a nut shell:
So far that seems pretty simple. I have had some slight itching and irritation around my appliance. Right now as I have been lying down for a while, it feels fine, but earlier it was bugging me as I was up and around. Does the weight and tuging of a filling bag make it itch or irritate?

Here is their method in a nut shell:
- Measure stoma leaving 1/8 inch space around hole and stoma.
- Trace hole onto the flange and cut out the hole.
- Fold Stomahesive strip lengthwise and apply around the hole in the flange.
- Apply flange and stick it down.
- Fill edges between stoma and inner edge of flange with Stomahesive powder.
- Then just snap on the bag.
