In 1776 the first successful operation was performed, but at the time there was no bag used, just sponges and straps. In 1795 (according to the Atlas of Intestinal Stomas) a man named Daguescea used a leather bag with a patient he had given an "artificial anus." It wasn't until 1934 that the Koenig-Rutzen patent was applied for, which was the first in the wave of better ways to treat ostomy patients.
Definitely before 1939, because my Grandfather had one then.

No
A colostomy bag isn't a usual sort of of bag that people would have with them, especially when going out and about. The bag serves as a way for people to defecate without needing a toilet.
A personal assistant can help with the change of a colostomy bag if that is what is needed for the patient's care.

colostomy bag. To deficate means via anus ( so says dictionary.com). If you ate and had a colostomy bag, by definition, you wouldn't be able to defecate.
Yes you can. Colostomy bags are waterproof. Although, you should empty your bag before you go in the water.
