Hi, I am Amber, a 41-year-old female from Denver. I would like to meet someone from my area or surrounding area. I am very shy; I have never been on a site like this before. I was so happy to find it.

I hate dating normally because it is so hard having to explain my ostomy bags. I have both, ileo and colostomy. The ileo doesn't bother me all that much, but the colostomy makes me very self-conscious.

I am looking for someone with a sense of humor, social drinker, easygoing.

Hi there Redhotmama... well, blow me down, here I was thinking there weren't any ostomates in Denver for me to try and meet. Just a suggestion... maybe while I'm there, we could meet and have coffee/booze; I'm easy... oh well, not that way... but I drink both and I love to meet new people, especially an ostomate. You see, here in Oz, they hide. They don't like anyone knowing they have a bag... so I don't even converse with other ostomates here in Australia. Tried and got sick of trying... so this site is my only connection with other osty-mates. It would be really nice to meet someone while I'm there. Let me know, okay? And if you can't, that's okay too... cheers for now. Tara

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.

I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.

I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.
