I was wondering if anyone has ever attended the Ostomy Conference and if so was it worth taking the time to attend? I noticed there is one in St. Louis in September. Thanks. Penguins7

Hi Penguins7, Yes, I attended the 2013 conference in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a great time both educationally and socially. The conference offered variety of classes about ostomy living as well as a stoma clinic. What was nice about the clinic, you could meet with a wound care nurse and have an evaluation of your stoma and skin. There were networking/socializing events organized too such as dancing, partying and lots of laughing. I would recommend this conference to ostomates. I will be there again this year (if all goes as planned) talking/marketing my new book - Stanley and Me make three. Take care - LH.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.

I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that
