1. An ostomy appliance body side member comprising: an adhesive wafer having a hole therein for accommodating and receiving secretions from a stoma; a sealing member in the form of a moldable mass or ring having balanced plastic and elastic properties, said sealing member including a first adhesive surface, a second upper surface and an inner rim, said first adhesive surface configured to adhere to the skin and to seal around a stoma and between the stoma and the adhesive wafer, said second upper surface facing away from the user, and said inner rim defining a hole for accommodating the stoma, said sealing member configured to allow enlargement of said stoma-accommodating hole by rolling up the inner rim of the sealing member to form a torus before placing the sealing member around the stoma, an inner portion of the second upper surface surrounding the hole having a separate hydrophobic adhesive layer thereon which is different from and compatible with the first adhesive surface and that has an adhesive upper surface to lock the torus in said rolled up position by adhesion between the first adhesive surface and said adhesive upper surface of the separate hydrophobic adhesive layer even when said first adhesive surface is exposed to moisture; and a carrier sheet disposed on an outer portion of the second upper surface.
