Reply to "First Major Surgery"

I came out with the bag after my surgery. I wasn't really shocked by it. But it does take time to get used to. I had an ostomy nurse come to the house for a few weeks until I was comfortable changing the bag. There should be a nurse at the hospital to assist in the beginning. I think by the second or third day I was able to walk around with assistance. I went in on a Monday and was discharged on Friday. Elastic pants/sweatpants worked well for me. I was pretty out of it for the first two days from what I remember.
