Any support will be appreciated. I am waiting for double surgery, so afraid and stressed out. I will need a double stoma. Thanks out there for any support.

Hopefully the ones on here with 2 ostomies will reply but good luck and remember to take 1 day at a time.

@SusanT has a double ostomy, look out for some of her posts. She is managing well and you will find her very inspirational. You will have a new life normal, embrace it. For pessimists, the past looks better than the present; for optimists, the future looks better than the present; for realists, the present is the first day of a life I am embracing.
Decide which you want to be 😉
