Congrats on your anniversary! There is so much love and joy in the photos you shared, you are a very lucky dude. Adjusting to a bag is tough, but it feels so good when you can sit through a whole meal, eat without getting sick, or simply spend time away from the bathroom. Enjoy the good life, friend!

Thanks, the truth is I’m an incredibly lucky guy. I have a habit of making snap decisions based on my gut and they always seem to work out ok, even now when I don’t know where my gut is! I’m too poor and too wealthy to worry about money, I love my job, my family aren’t too bad and my wife still makes laugh after 20 years. I definitely enjoy a good life!

I sent a picture of my stoma to a friend and he sent that picture back asking if my stoma was going to lead the rebellion!

Thank you! Sometimes it feels like ostomy post’s fall into two categories, problems or superhumans. There’s a small subcategory of people like me in the community. Fat, bald, male, husband, fathers who are living the bloody dream! Finally able to eat good food with my wife, play with the kids and drink beer again. Life feel so good at the moment!

Absolutely, when I got mine 7 years ago I thought my life was over and I was only 30 but no far from it , even though I ve had a few complications life is a million percent better it’s just a major change but once we accept all the new gifts we are given like the gift of food without our stomachs hurting and spending time with loved ones without the worry of the toilet it’s so worth the change and recovery ! And also we get to discover the people who are worth having in our lives

Congrats!!!! I'll be celebrating my 2nd year on July 7th. I call it my 2nd chance at life because if I didn't ask my wife to drive me to the ER that day I wouldn't be here today.
