About the ileostomy bag - I always felt it was a little cruel to have the girl that has a problem with adhesives . . . to wear a bag from her body that was attached to her with ADHESIVES!  But with that being said, after we finally got it figured out so that it wouldn't leak (that was a bigger problem!) it was just something that you had to deal with.  Now if when I came out of surgery they had told me that I would have to have this the rest of my life I would have sucked it up and said OK, but since I knew it was only supposed to short term, I was anxious to get rid of it!  Now onward and upward (another couple of weeks before I can start putting more fiber foods in my diet.  Is it bad that I've already started a mental list of some things that I want to have?? . . . like chili (no beans on a low fiber diet), a big salad (can't have a lot of roughage on a low fiber diet), onion rings (breaded things are not good on a low fiber diet).
