We women tend to be more private, ashamed perhaps? Thank you so much for the insight, Bill! I absolutely love great comebacks! We appreciate you sharing the links with our community! I answer curious and concerned questions. When it comes to insulting looks and questions I give the same in return. My bag and scars are in plain view for all to see. For me the oddest times are comments from facing the wrong way in a public bathroom stall. I hold my head high and go about my business.
I found men will give a confused look or quickly look away when they realise I saw them. Women over 60 are the ones that give me, the I should be ashamed and hide it speech.
The women in the middle either give me a pity look, ask questions, or walk away shaking their head. That I would make the same choice again in a heart beat. I think ostomy needs to stop being a scary secret. I tell people my ostomy is no different than my hand or foot. I have had an ileostomy since I was I am now Barbara Barrie and Mary Ann mobley are just two actresses with ostomies Barbara has written a book about her experience.
I had my surgery in and have lived with my ileostomy for over 20 years. I am a world traveler and have lived my life fully. One caveat. When traveling overseas always take double the number of appliances you think you need. I got caught in Mexico once with a batch of faulty wafers and nearly had to return home early.
Luckily found a doctor who was able to get supplies but at enormous price. Great tip! Someone once told me to grab pouches from different boxes to bring when traveling so if you got a faulty batch you only have 1 of the bad batch with you! I thought that was such a helpful tip! I am sorry for your loss, but what an amazing thing to have a wonderfully supportive partner! My co-worker had a calendar with people modeling and showing their ostomy. It was beautiful to see. Wonder if selling a calendar with these famous men and women along with their stories as youve done her, with sime facts, could generate awareness?
Laura, I loved this article and eagerly await Part Two. I have both colostomy and urostomy bags — a real Bag Lady — and am thriving after a year of adjustment that turned into embracement. Great to know of some famous folks who have ostomies. Thanks for letting us know of some greats who have lived through these surgeries and gone on to continue living their dreams. I have an option to have mine reversed, but it will take 2 surgeries.
A section of my colon has narrowed and will have to be removed. Once that is healed, they can reverse the original surgery and eliminate the bag. The doctor said he will also have to remove a portion of my rectum. I am not sure what I want to do at this point. It would be nice to have the bag removed, but not at the cost of having issues with control.
I also have problems with the skin around the stoma getting very red and sore. I have to watch what I eat. Acids seem to bother it a lot. Anyone else have these problems? I have a loop ileostomy, which is reversible. I have never had it reversed because I have some other post surgical issues I want to take care of first. He or she should be able to help you with that! Hi Belinda, I completely understand where you are coming from, but you are absolutely not inadequate.
If you have any questions, please feel free to comment back or email me! All great and brave men. A challenge for any person, harder for a man to conceal. Babe Zaharias, famous woman golfer, and Loretta Young, actress, had ostomies, I believe.
Old timers might remember them. It gave me back my life after nine years of ulcerative colitis. I also have a very supportive spouse and was active for many years in our local ostomy support group. Life is good. Thank you for the insight! I will definitely put those on the list for part two! I am so happy to hear what a full life you have lived with your ostomy!
I appreciate you sharing! I have had an iliostomy for 51 years due to ulcerative colitis. I had inside pouch for 12 years and had removed in I am now back to outside appliance. I had too many problems with inside pouch. I have developed more adhesions. I am 66 years old and it,s been a long journey ; but I have lead a pretty normal and busy life.
I hope your health continues! On I will be 79 years old. My colostomy surgery was about 15 years ago. If professional wrestling was still popular, I could be in that sport and be a champ. GOD can do a lot.
