By the way, I had no chemo and no radiation as my surgeon said I was clear like you are, so I was very happy about that. Believe them if they say you don't need it, my six month I am still clear....Gene

Grandpa donut,

The stoma for a bag to be attached to is about 2 inches to the right of your belly button, on the same line across, it presents no problem at all, just the waist may have to be a little larger on your pants to allow flow into the bag, I am surprised you haven't been shown all of this yet. You will have a detailed appt. just for this subject. The bag is great, or any deversion you choose, you have to be devoted to your choice....Ginger
