🌿 A little preparation can make your next ostomy nurse appointment easier.
Have you ever left an appointment and realized you forgot to ask a question you’d been thinking about all week? I know having a place to organize your thoughts can be helpful.
I created a free “Questions to Ask My Ostomy Nurse” resource for our Living Full community! 💚
📋 It includes questions about:
- Your pouching system, supplies, and leaks
- Stoma and skin care
- Food, hydration, and output
- Exercise, swimming, travel, and everyday life
- Space to write your own questions and take notes
It also includes a reminder about symptoms that may need urgent medical attention.
Whether you're new to ostomy life or have had your ostomy for years, this resource can help you prepare for your next appointment and make the most of your time with your care team.
👇 Get it here:
www.patreon.com/LivingFull/posts/question-to-ask-1…
Save it, print it, or keep it on your phone for your next visit. And remember, this is a preparation tool, not medical advice. Your healthcare team can help you with guidance specific to you.
We're figuring this out together. 🌿

I wanted to create a space where we can connect beyond my videos, share our experiences, and learn from one another.
www.patreon.com/LivingFull/posts/welcome-to-full-1…
I've opened several Chats on Patreon, each with its own space for conversation:
🌱 The Ostomy Welcome Room: For new ostomates and anyone finding their way.
🗓️ Surgery on the Horizon: For those preparing for surgery or navigating early recovery.
🌳 OG Ostomates: For those who've been living with an ostomy for years.
🎒 The Ostomy Supply Swap Meet: For sharing product experiences, practical tips, and supply recommendations.
🥥 Food, Hydration & Everyday Life: For everyday routines, meals, outings, and personal experiences.
☀️ Living Full: The Everything Else Chat: For life beyond the ostomy, too.
These Chats are open to free and paid members. Join the conversations that feel right for you, introduce yourself if you'd like, ask questions, share your experiences, or simply read along.
You don't need to wait for me to start a conversation. This community belongs to all of us, and I hope it becomes a place where we can help each other feel understood without having to explain everything.
I'm glad you're here. 💚

🚨 LAST CALL: I NEED YOUR ILEOSTOMY QUESTIONS! 🚨
You voted, and I listened! 🎉
The winner of the YouTube Members Only poll is officially…
🎥 “Answering Your Biggest Questions About Living with an Ileostomy”
And I’m filming it THIS SUNDAY, October 4, 2026! 🎬
That means this is your chance to get your question into the video. 👀
What have you*always wanted to know about living with an ileostomy?
Maybe it’s something you’ve been too shy to ask. Maybe you’re preparing for surgery. Maybe you have an ostomy yourself and want to know if someone else experiences the same things you do.
Ask me about:
• 💩 Daily life & routines
• 🥑 Eating & drinking
• 💦 Hydration
• 🚨 Leaks & accidents
• ✈️ Traveling
• 👗 Clothing
• 🚿 Showering & swimming
• 💼 Work & social life
• ❤️ Dating & relationships
• 🪞 Body image
• 🔥 Intimacy
• 🏋🏽♀️ Exercise & physical activity
• 😴 Sleeping
• 🧴 Products & supplies
• 🧠 The emotional side of having an ostomy
• 🤔 Or ANYTHING else you’re curious about!
There are no silly questions here. If you've wondered about it, chances are someone else has too.
👇 DROP YOUR QUESTION IN THE COMMENTS BEFORE SUNDAY!
I’ll be answering as many questions as I can in the video, so get them in while you can. 🎥💚
And a huge thank-you to my YouTube Members for helping decide what we talk about next. Your votes genuinely help shape this channel, and I love that we’re creating this community together. 🫶🏽
What’s the one question about living with an ileostomy that you REALLY want answered? 👇
