The first three years after colostomy surgery, I was determined to only have a relationship with someone else with the same condition. Don't limit yourself and know if someone truly loves you, the bag does not matter.

So true, I had met a fantastic man and was with him for 6 years. He accepted me for who I am. Sadly, he passed away last August.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
That's
Honesty
Truth
I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that

I'm new here and really struggling with this issue. My hope is to find help on this site. Have you actually had experience with a partner who did not have a bag?
