     Good bags can cost $10 per bag, only the bag. The flanges that go with them are sold separately, then accessories because the bags don't work! Some are one piece, some are 2 pieces.
     Medicare's supplies are limited per/month. So when you order what doesn't work, you're stuck. Bags are supposed to last 3 or 4 days, but they don't for the most part. You must measure as I said, too. Videos help, but cannot tell you what actually works, and the medical community can't help you. End.

     8 months later and thousands of our own dollars spent, I think we finally found the right combination of ostomy supplies that work for my brother. You're operated and sent home with no reliable information and a bag that falls off when you get home. There are thousands of supplies at outrageous costs. You have to know about widths, lengths, slopes, how to handle skin imperfections and folds in the skin, what works and doesn't & wound healing since the acid in poop damages the skin... 1 of 2
