Obviously on this site, there's a higher percentage of people that belong to the elite Barbie Butt Gang. However, with so many on here having it, we're just a small number of people with this unique physique. Do you ever wonder how many people you see, walk by, etc., have it too? I know of one other person who has it; she was (since moved) a vet tech where I take Cooper. Yes, my mind goes 1000 mph on the most irrelevant things.

This is a remarkable community of 40,920 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me. The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience. When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated. Either way, it is a good site.
