I find your videos very informative, I am 72 not active for the last year as chemo taxed me just got a colostomy and now on round 3 of chemo, it’s nice to see video’s from someone who actually has a osteomyelitis, I have watched a few RU-vid videos and there is not way they actually have a stoma, your videos actually show the stoma which is refreshing as I was beginning to think mine was the only one to look like it, I especially liked the video of how you can bath with your osteomyelitis. Thank you for so much information

@STEALTHBELT Год назад

We’re so glad we could help! Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help. And there may be some videos you’re seeing where people are not showing stomas because they often get flagged as violent content for some reason.

what a fantastic informative video

@robertcaley2671 8 месяцев назад

Great! If only I had known your channel months ago. I’ve learnt so much more from you than some of the support workers I’ve had. It’s good getting to know you too. Thank you so much

Thank you. Very helpful.

@sylviababoolal3560 26 дней назад

Thank you very interesting

@sumoody1325 3 месяца назад

That was great, thank you. I have stage four kidney disease, am 77, due to watery output. Dehydration affects my eyes, energy and short of breath.

@melmarie1809 Год назад

I am 2 years in and i STRUGGLE with hydration. I never drank a ton before my ostomy so trying to get it in now plus more, its been the hardest part of this for me.

@STEALTHBELT Год назад

Its tough to stay ahead of it even without an ostomy! Thats why we're such big proponents of building routines, so it become a habit rather than something you have to constantly be reminded to do. Easily said, challenging to do, but ALWAYS worth while :)

@shirleydavis3387 3 месяца назад

I have problems holding onto bottles cups etc due to arthritis in hands and have to count on water bottles but love your Ideas

@allenehelmick3671 Год назад

Thank you for another great information. I found that bodyarmorlyte has great electrolytes ,good in potassium

@STEALTHBELT Год назад

Thanks for sharing that tip, and we’re glad you found the video helpful.

@angieweeks5131 11 месяцев назад

Hi I've had an ileostomy without a large colon since 2020. I am 49 and have just had a surgery for disc removal and fusion in my neck. Its very important to please note that while having a stoma and having any surgery in the future that you understand that the anesthesia your given may shut down your digestive system and so having outpatient surgeries may require impatient surgery so they can keep you hydrated after the surgery. I only learned this by having the outpatient surgery and going home drinking all my water then getting nauseous and sick due to my digestive system being shut down for the surgery. Thank you for this information.

Happy to help!

@shaneb472 Год назад

I'm shocked as my ostomy nurse told me post-surgery just 2-2.5L a day. I will definitely be increasing this.

@STEALTHBELT Год назад

it will varey widely from person to person! also, the *amount* is only a part of the puzzle, but when and how you drink that amount will also have an impact. :) Happy Hydrating!

@waynegraham7608 7 месяцев назад

I'm post surgury as well. Like I'm still in the hospital. They've stressed the importance of staying hydrated so the fact your nurse said 2.5 liters is a little shakey to me. I'm supposed to have a gallon and a half but I'm also a larger man so that might make a difference.

@shaneb472 7 месяцев назад

@@waynegraham7608 this was quite a while ago now and I found out pretty quickly that was barely enough. On a hot day or a day where I’m active it doesn’t cut it so I usually have 3l and on days where I’m super active as much as 5-6

@Gesundheit888 4 месяца назад

Did you ever listen to "Kent Carnivore" - he is amazing what he experienced and learned about food and how to be in control with a stoma bag.

@andrewgreenwood8554 Год назад

Yet another excellent video. I didn't even realise that we had extra hydration needs. I will be acting on some of these recommendations. More water coming my way!

@collinjarvis6251 Год назад

So glad you like it! Even if we didnt have ostomys, its said that about 75% of Americans do not meet their daily hydration needs - wont hurt to get some more hydration going regardless

@andrewgreenwood8554 Год назад

@@collinjarvis6251 I have a question for you Collin. Given your active life, you must have tried swimming. How long can you swim without the adhesive on the bags becoming a bit suspect? I am only 18 months into mine so I have no idea and need to know how many spare to take on holiday.

@collinjarvis6251 Год назад

@@andrewgreenwood8554 I swim fairly often! Generally speaking, as long as im wearing my Stealth Belts I dont feel that the water makes the bags come off any sooner than they would need to otherwise. I typically will swim like 30-40 mins lap swimming or occasionally go surfing. I'd definitely bring more appliances than you think you'll need to be safe when you go on holiday and while you're still adjusting to your set up... but 9 years into have an ostomy and I dont even think twice about whether i'll be in the water or not. Maybe that will have to be my next video! :)

@andrewgreenwood8554 Год назад

@@collinjarvis6251 That’s great news Collin. Thanks for replying. I guess it would make an interesting video.

@norapetz5775 Год назад

this is great! Even if you do i.v. nutrition you need to drink your water. You are a great example for all of us who exercise alot! Thankyou!!

@1DucatiCraig Год назад

Really appreciate this video. I have a tendency to have coffee in the morning and diet Dr Pepper at lunch. I have to focus on getting more water into my daily routine.

@collinjarvis6251 Год назад

Glad you found it helpful! And you can still have your routine coffee and dr pepper if it works for you currently - just getting more water in the mix throughout the day will still give some improvement.

@pattycoppoletta3699 7 месяцев назад

Your video was very informative, with hydration. I have a problem with that because I don't like water. So I Have to force it down and never seems to be enough. I use drip drop but it becomes to much sugar. Any suggestions?

Im due to have a iliostomy in 2 weeks, even though I've had my chemo, I'm still got and healthy, i drink around 2-3 lots of liquid a day will that help with my lower anterior resection

@armpitfuzz Год назад

My nurse suggested a can of coke and a bag of crisps (UK) for electo's

@STEALTHBELT Год назад

Caffeine and sugar in coke can be a diarrhetic, so it's not the ideal choice for many, but if you're getting along fine without hydration issues then problem solved!
