Hi,
I am new to this and have found some things very helpful. I am looking to find new friends and hope to find someone special.
If anyone wants to talk, then you may have to help me a bit (getting around the site, still getting used to it).
I have a permanent colostomy after a perforated bowel.
Hi, my name is Pat and I too am new to this site and getting around. I also have an ostomy. My doctor wants to reverse it now; however, I am too scared at this time to do so.
Why Join MeetAnOstoMate?
First off, this is a pretty cool site with 40,263 members.
But, it's not all about ostomy. We talk about everything.
Many come here for advice, others find lasting friendships, and some have even found love.

Hi Robbie,
Welcome to MAO. Have you found the general chat room yet? It's a great place to chat with anyone who is in the room at the time. Or you could post a time you will be there and others could stop in to say hello.
If you look to the bottom right of the screen, you should see a little toggle switch. Next to it are the words General Chat. When the toggle switch shows the color green, you are showing up as in the chat room. Click on General Chat, and the room will pop up. If you are reading or posting and not available at the moment to chat, then toggle it off until you want to chat.
Hope that helps.
