Hi guys! So I am fairly new to this website. I am here because I was born with imperforate anus or anorectal malformations (ARMs). I'm 29 years old and I've had both a colostomy & urostomy since I was born. And I had a kidney transplant when I was 15. I live a pretty normal life, but I do tend to have days where I wish I could meet someone who actually understands what I'm going through & won't judge. Planning on becoming a full member soon. I'm hoping to meet new people!! :)

This is a remarkable community of 40,879 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

Well it's just coming upto a year since I had my emergency stoma. Since joining MAOM I have learnt all different kinds of ideas to help with the stoma. Not only that I have made a lot of good friends who I can talk to. The beauty of this site is it's not just giving tips and ideas we talk about anything and everything. So thank you for giving us a great site. XX
