Well, on July 20th I had the surgery and got the ostomy bag, and on October 31st I had the reversal. I am happy to report that I feel great and am on the road to total recovery. Dr. McBride and team were tremendous from day 1. Don't lose the faith.

For those of you still looking for love after your ostomy... don't give up! One day, when you least expect it, there will be a message in your inbox... always remember that when you're not looking, life has a brilliant way of surprising you with someone in your life you have so much in common with, and either you make a great new friend or you will find the person you were always looking for! I, for one, thank God I found this website... I was in a low place when I first started, and now I've never been happier! ~Traci~
