Scuba Forum / General / March 2005diving with an ostomy
Is there a diver out there who has an ostomy bag . My wife and I are going to the Dominican in April and will be taking our open water dives to fullfill our dive cert. We are worried what may happen to the bag in deep water. We have consulted the DAN and werent given the info we need , probably cuz there is not a diver there that has the ostomy.We do not speak or read Spanish so please respond in English.

In este caso, recomiendo que le llaman a DAN y habla con una persona viva quien responde a todas sus preguntas m?dicas. ?OK? >> We have consulted the DAN and werent given the info we need , probably cuz there >> is not a diver there that has the ostomy.We do not speak or read Spanish so please [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > llaman a DAN y habla con una persona viva quien responde a todas sus preguntas > m?dicas. ?OK? ??? ?.?.?. ?? ???? ???? ?? ???????? ????? ?? ?? ????? ?? ? ???? ?????

And all this time I thought we had. I know I need a passport to drive south of New Braunfels on I35.  Signaturedillon "When the French are against it, you know we can't be far wrong." - Adm. Bobbie Ray Inman I have a hard time understanding the thought patterns of some of the respondents to my previous question to a very sensitive subject. Dillon , what does your comment have to do with the question I asked. If you have any information on ostomy and scuba diving respond or else try a different site to give your childish feedback >>>>>We have consulted the DAN and werent given the info we need , probably >>>>>cuz there [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > And all this time I thought we had.

It's childish. BTW, if you're so sensitive about crapping out a hole in your side, why post about it in public? Did you think rec.scuba was the place to ask your questions because there are a lot of a.sholes here? >I have a hard time understanding the thought patterns of some of the >respondents to my previous question to a very sensitive subject.

I rather agree with Greg Mossman ( God, that's frightening!! ), If you're so sensitive about, it why post Here? other than because this group is full of a.sholes that don't work also. As for the actual post - he was responding to ME not you ( and I was resonding to someone else , Not you again, who was responding to someone else , and guess what? that wasn't you either )- it may damage your sensitivity but You don't Own a thread just because you made the first post. > Is there a diver out there who has an ostomy bag .

You don't say what kind of ostomy you are speaking of... a colostomy or ileostomy, or urostomy. What typpe is it ?? Regardless, I think that if you have a 'standard' ostomy and you can make sure the seal is tight at the body site and that there is little air in the collection bag, you should be alright. If I were you, I'd probably apply more stoma adhesive than usual or do some aditional dressing with something like Bio-Oclusive around the site. I'd make sure that there was little to no air in the bag before diving. Now... if you have a catheter-feeding device from your stoma that leads into the bag, then you should check with the manufacturer of the device to make sure that it will be ok under pressure at depth. I wish you and your wife a safe and fun trip !! :) |
