You are so right. I will never forget this website and the people who have helped me. I had my reversal in January of 2014. I try and come on this website weekly to see if I can help or encourage other individuals get through the day-to-day process of life.

Hooray for you!!! Hope you are doing well! Can I ask you a question? Yes, you say?

Ok, since you have had a reversal and no longer have to deal with the fun of having a stoma, would that change whether or not you would be interested in a woman with one? Does it even make a difference to you now? Would it have before?

This is a tough one; how is he going to answer? If it does make a difference and he answers truthfully, he'll come across as a hypocrite. And who would want to be so branded? A conundrum, to say the least. But if nothing else, he'll be far more understanding than anyone without the experience of having had a stoma.
But I just noticed there have been no comments after Jan 17, 2013.

No, it would not bother me in any way. I simply understand that a smile, a kind word, or anything romance is built upon cannot be diminished by a stoma that in most cases is wrapped up all sexy-like. However, not to burst all your bubbles, but I only lasted 8 months before the pain kicked my butt. I now have a permanent friend on my side 24/7.
Happy but looking for pain help.

I sure didn't mean to put you on the spot! Goodness, I didn't think that question through, apparently. I do appreciate your answer. I wouldn't have found you to be a hypocrite if you would have answered the other way, either. Sorry to hear you now have your permanent friend with you. Maybe he will be tolerable and not always such a butt hole.
