Hi friends,
Most of the people from India met at the Ostomy Association meeting in December 2008 in Bangalore. It was very informative for new ostomy people as well as old people.
In that, we shared all our experiences. It was a good experience for me. I met so many people who have an ostomy (ileostoma, urostoma.).
It is better to share our feelings with those who have the same problem as us. So friends, I will inform you all (India) about the next Ostomy Association meeting.
Even though it is held in each state of India on different dates.
I saw some of the people from India like Sunitha, myself, Ninu, and Aayushi and so on..
Please share or post your experiences in this forum, and we all will try to meet one fine day.
There are some other good links for urostoma and ileostoma: here you can see lots of people's life stories about how they got urostoma and ileostoma... and experiences of them.

Friends, share your experiences and be in touch within the forum and keep on posting topics.
Thanks

Hi SreeRam,
I have been having a colostomy for 2 years now from AIIMS New Delhi. But I don't know much about ostomates. It's so nice to have you here. I want to contact people like you but have been unable to do so far. I also got a mail from Aayushi here on this site but am unable to contact her as well. Please tell me how to contact you people.
Bye.

Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.
