So my name is Jeff I have had a colostomy since i was 12 years old. Now that i think about it its been a decade. I havent event thought of getting the reversak because my life is perfect as of now. The funny part is maybe a hand full of people are aware of my colostomy. So living life the past years i have been keeping this secret from alot of people. Now that i am on here i feel as if i can get alot off my chest. I am fukk of answers feek free to ask me anything. And if you have or are getting any kind of ostomy dont let it get you down this isnt the end of the world if anything its the beggining of a new exciting chapter in your life, ; ))))))

Awesome, good for you! I think it's great that you have such a positive attitude! I just got an ileostomy 6 months ago. For the first time since I was 23, I feel great! I am totally open about my ostomy personally, everyone who knows me knows I have one and I don't care. If I had an amputated leg or arm I wouldn't hide that, why should I hide this? Just makes it seem like it's something to be ashamed of and it totally isn't! I feel awful when I see other people with ostomies who have self image problems because of it. I too could have a reversal and I CHOOSE ostomy :) Rock on with your bad self, Calikidd!
