Hi Guys
I would like to know if anybody on here can help me.
Later this year maybe within 3mths I will be having a op to remove part of my bowel
And I will possibly be fitted with a Stoma ,
I am looking for someone that has any experience with these while fishing?
What are the pit falls and mainly is it possible to still go fishing?
Don't want to go into too much detail but it's not very nice,
Mods if this offends please remove!!
Cheers Guys
Ian

Wife's a nurse and as told me that you will be able to lead normal life, you will need to make changes to life style . You will be allocated a stoma nurse who will advise you on different products available, some you throw away some you drain, the nurse will advise. She worked with a lad of 19 who carried on as normal , you will need to make changes but this will not effect you fishing .
You will get lots of support from the stoma nurse allocated to you

You should be ok bud although everyone deals with it in different ways. My mate has one and still continues getting around as normal, and doing the things he likes.
As Gaz says your stoma nurse will advise you how to deal with it should you need one.

I fished with a stoma for 6 years until I got a reversal.it does take some time to adjust but there isn't any thing you cant do.you will get lots of support from the stoma nurse .I got a small camper for some privacy should it need changing when fishing but some don't need changing every day.I am in the Selby area if you need to talk.ron s

I have a Urostomy stoma, (3 years), it's not a problem at all, you'll be supplied with a 'spares' bag that you can take with you, Washing and cleaning is only a couple of minutes when you're used to it. I change my bag every couple of days and very very rarely have any leakage, With a Coleostomy bag there should be no leakage, and as said earlier, the stoma nurse and yourself will sort out whats best for your needs.
Wishing you all the best
Merv
