You have an opening brought out onto your abdomen, called a colostomy. You wear a vinyl bag, kept in place with surgical adhesive over the stoma[ opening ] to collect the feces. You change the bag as needed , and good Skin Care around the stoma is very important. A nurse-educator will teach you how to care for yourself before you leave the hospital, and there are support groups for stomates .
