I had a temp iliostomy about eleven years ago and have had my permanent one for a year and a half. I don't love it by any means, but I deal. I wish you both the best of luck. Thank you for writing!!
I'm glad to know I'm not alone. We should have a scholarship fund or something. Haha!
after colon cancer I decided to be who I am 
I've never been happier I wish you all luck in your relationships or if your looking! I would like to have an intimate friend.
I really haven't had any problems with my bag and dating. I just don't make it a big deal, and so nobody else does either. The woman I'm with, who I hope to marry in a few years, doesn't mind at all. In fact, she thinks it's funny a lot of times. I know that my bag is always there, but it just has so little to do with ME, that I don't even worry about it. I figure, I never got a girl with my sexy stomach (or lack there of) before, so a bag really won't matter all that much. 
I think to some extent, we are lucky to date women, as they're typically more understanding of things like this. It also makes us more empathetic to other peoples' ailments. Anyhow, it's all good, and that's my point. At least we're all still kicking. Don't get me wrong, there are days when I hate it, and I get irritated by different things about it, but for the most part, I'm glad to have my bag. That's all for today I suppose!
i was with my love when this happened and she and i just never happened after it 
so i am not very confident in meeting anyone else. not right now, but would like it if we could all have a chat thing going on to swap stories
and just chat. anyway ladies good to know you all. now i wont be a stranger as it has taken me a long time to even get up the courage to get on here. hope to chat soon waytogo lots love to you all
hope to have some chats with you i am going to be a regular visitor from now on , and is nice meeting you and the other lesbians wow. i will go to bed soon with a smile on my dial and that has been missing for a long time now, so thank you all so much hope to chat soon
thank you very much, i think the rest of these girls may have given up the chase so to speak. ok so we just talk now???? so how are you. i too was very surprised at the amount of girls who was in that chat. yes i was a very happy lesbian when i saw that i was not the only one in the world lol. some of them were living very well with their better halves and say that the bag was of no concern. i was separated after my emergency op. was in that relationship for 18yrs
she said she hated it 
well that went down a treat and i have been so scared to even think of another relationship after that. How about you are you with someone n if so how do you both cope with it.
i hope you chat back
That is not the kind of person you want to be with. Don't be scared to venture forth into the dating world. I've had relationships since my surgery and they were extremely supportive and positive experiences!! In my experience, women have been wonderful and actually made me feel great about myself and my desirability as a partner!! Go for it!!
you are a genius. 
I do have a FB account and I will try my hand at getting one up n running. If or when I do I will let you know ok. I am in 2 closed groups on FB re Farm Ville, so i can inquire as how to do it. hope to get back to you soon waytogo 
it i have asked friends n all seems to fail i am supposed to have a certain amount of ppl to become members lol how damn stupid is that as this is why we want to do it???? sorry but i will work on another idea will let you know when n if. in a couple of weeks i will be getting a total knee replacement so i have put this at the back for the moment hope thats ok with you ??? . i hope you all had a great Christmas and stay safe talk again soon
She doesn't mind my bag at all, it's a non-issue. I am excited to see what happens. I hope you're all doing well!
n now hoping I can get around a bit better in another few weeks. Have a great day
