I didn't see your original message. I had an APR with a permanent colostomy two months ago. It is quite easy to take care of. The first stoma bags you get are clear plastic and it seems depressing to think of having that. Get the opaque bags as soon as you can. I also found that the wide outlet bags with the velcro work nicely as well (Coloplast makes them) but it may be different for a female. Having a good ostomy nurse is the best help.
Good luck, vinny30 -
