I just joined today. I've had a colostomy since June 5th, 2019. I'm considering irrigation and wondering if there is anybody else on here that does that.

Irrigation is a great tool to manage your ostomy. If you qualify, I suggest that you try it. Should you decide to, I would be glad to help you get started.

Welcome aboard, John. I do not know anything about irrigation as I have an ileostomy. However, I wish you terrific luck if you are going back to the dating scene. It's ... difficult. Drop me a line if you'd like to discuss it further. Cheers!

Thanks for your message. I will confirm with my surgeon at the end of June. Fingers crossed. Seems like it will be a life changer.
