Just checking this site out.So I'm a recent sufferer of Ulcerative Colitis. Just had the worst year of my life as I have or was in a flare the past 7 months, in constant pain and discomfort 24/7. After losing a lot of weight and pretty much being sick of being sick, I opted for surgery and recently had a colectomy with ileostomy on July 17th! I immediately felt better when I woke up in recovery! First morning after surgery I had bacon! (It was wonderful). I am now off all meds, I've al…

I have had my urostomy from an early age on and I just wanted to say that it feels so Wonderful to not feel alienated and isolated anymore, like it did before I found out that I am not the only ostomate in my age group =) Growing up I felt like I was the only person my age that had the "ostomy experience" and now it feels so different =)

Why can't people be who they are?! Armyman007 is a stolen identity! Beware women!
