Hi my name is Dee and i'm 38. I had my colostomy in Jan 2005. My
colosotmy was a result from damage done during childbirth 9 years
ago. After numerous surgeries I finally bit the bullet and had my
ostomy done. It is not nearly as bad as I had made it out to be in my
mind. It did take some adjustment and still going thru that but I
would love to talk to anyone to get suggestions. Also I'm interested
in hearing from anyone who has had insurance problems related to
getting them to cover ostomy supplies. Thanks for letting me be apart
of this group.

Dee (outrajusridr@...)
