It generally depends on whether you have an ileostomy or colostomy and how much of the colon was removed as to where the stoma ends up on your body. And sometimes the stoma needs to be revised because of problems, hernias or scar tissue, adhesions or strictures, so many things come into consideration as to where the surgeon places the stoma.

MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,403 members.
“I mostly read and still feel like I belong.”
“Doctors took notes; they want others to find this website.”
“From midnight blowouts to big wins, there’s always a hand to hold.”
I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days.
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!
