Hi Friends, Just a quick post to invite you to attend the Regional Ostomy Conference being held in Dulles, VA, April 29 - May 1, 2016. For additional information about the conference, registration, and hotel arrangements, please view the United Ostomy Association website at www.ostomy.org. The weekend sounds like it will be an educationally fun adventure. I have attended the previous two national conferences, and they were really great! I am looking forward to attending this one as well. I heard that the turnout will be pretty good, and the Saturday evening dinner and dancing event will be a blast. Again, for more information, please go to the www.ostomy.org website for further information. Take care everyone and have a great weekend. LadyHope

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.
