About MeetAnOstoMate
MeetAnOstoMate was launched in 2006 and is run by a small, dedicated team who put their time and energy into running the site.
This is not your typical ostomy website. It's a unique community where people connect over shared experiences, talk about anything and everything, share laughs, offer support, and provide a shoulder to lean on. Everyone here understands what it means to live with an ostomy because they're living it too.
