I will remember that. I will definitely take that under advisement.

If I had to give up weightlifting from a hernia after less than 2 months after surgery. I've been given the okay on chair aerobic exercises and isometric training.
Good luck🍀

After I got my ostomy I found this site and got a lifetime membership. I have had so much help from the core members, things that even the wound care nurses didn't know. If you haven't been through this journey you don't know - only the people that have experienced this first hand truly understand what your going through. The support is enormously helpful getting through this. Afterwards when you start to learn how to deal with this new normal you can begin to help others. ...mtnman.

Terri is correct. Beware, it is easy to prolapse your stoma. It cannot be fixed properly. I started prolapsing with training. My surgeon "cut me a new AH"* I liked my old one, (RIP haha) Went to a special PT that works with incontinence and stomas. She got me up to speed and got my abdominal muscles working properly. If you were "buff," pre-op, it will be easier.
