I've had my ileo. for some 7 years. Having this blew our chance of having a child until I recovered. I also suffered for four years before it too. So I am looking for some advice about trying to have an intimate relationship with my wife and have a child. ???

I'm going on 51 and she is starting her 40s, so we are getting a late start. That is the question if we can though

I had a colostomy and it was difficult to be intimate, but I made a sort-of cummerbund type of thing out of a pair of boxer briefs. The supply companies have similar products I later found out called wraps. They do just that. It is kind of a fun type of clothing that will cover the appliance. It was kind of fun in a way. It is like a big elastic wide belt of some sort. Quite comfortable. Jay

Hello everyone!!!
It has been almost a year since joining this site. I just wanted to share. I know a lot of people get concerned about meeting someone on here. I'm not a lifer membership and I had someone initiate to take me out. I've been divorced since 2009. He lives in Chicago. I ignored the first time thinking he was joking. I live in Milwaukee. So a month later he sent me a message through this site saying he wanted to meet me. That was in April this year. I must say it was the best thing that could happen to me. We talk almost every day. We have so much in common. He comes up all the time to spend the day or weekend together. It really does make a difference when someone has an ostomy like you. Such understanding and we always have something to talk about. I want to share because sometimes people think it's hard to meet someone or they say this site doesn't work. I'm a testimony that this site does work. We are talking marriage this time next year. I will keep you posted.
