Hey, I really don't use this site much but I just wanted to alert other ostomates to the fact that the author of dlisted, a popular celebrity gossip site, had a story today comparing someone to a used up colostomy bag. Here is the link: http://dlisted.com/2013/02/22/open-post-hosted-visual-appetite-suppressant. As an ostomate, I don't appreciate him perpetuating this idea that ostomies are shameful or gross. I wrote to him, perhaps it would be helpful for other ostomates to do the same. Thanks!

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.
