So my name is Jeff. I have had a colostomy since I was 12 years old. Now that I think about it, it's been a decade. I haven't even thought of getting the reversal because my life is perfect as of now. The funny part is, maybe a handful of people are aware of my colostomy. So, living life these past years, I have been keeping this secret from a lot of people. Now that I am on here, I feel as if I can get a lot off my chest. I am full of answers, feel free to ask me anything. And if you have or are getting any kind of ostomy, don't let it get you down. This isn't the end of the world; if anything, it's the beginning of a new, exciting chapter in your life. ;))))))
