Three months since my reversal and feeling great. This scar might not look very appealing, but compared to how it first looked, it's a major improvement. I won't be taking my shirt off at the beach this summer, but I'm looking forward to getting on my surfboard again. Hope you all are doing well and staying safe.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Hi Chuck,
Fantastic! No man.......scars are cool! Show that bitch off.......you earned it! And what great conversation starters!! I'd give my left nut to lose this bag and have 10 scars like that! Glad to hear things are going good......and hopefully always will. Thanks for letting us know how you're doing!!
Regards,
Bob
Chuck, I am so happy that things are working out so well for you! Really appreciate you letting us know. Take your shirt off at the beach and show your scar with pride. Tell people you got the scars in the war, because you did! All the best.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Laurie. Not ready to show my body at the beach just yet but maybe next season. I plan to tell people I got the scar.
From one of Joe Exotic's tigers. Haha. Kidding.
Best wishes.

I inspired - So glad you're doing well! There are a lot of successful reversal stories out there. Thanks for sharing.
Please hang out on the site. Many people on here ask about reversals and I cannot have one, so no help here. Upward, onward, forward, whatever, best of luck. Nice to hear a success story.
Hi, Chuck, it is so good to hear some great news. Thanks for sharing. There was someone asking about reversals the other day. Hope they see this. Best wishes going forward. Stay safe.
Chuck,
Your scar is wonderful! Battle scars are always a conversation starter! Lol you can make up all kinds of great stories!
Wish mine looked that good! Glad all went well and you are returning to a bag-less life! Pop in on occasion! Your experience is very valuable to a lot of folks here!
Have fun surfing this summer!
