Hi, new ostomate here, used to kayak, snowshoe, do aerobics/kickboxing, boogie board, ocean swim alot. How about you, any problems with any of these sports? How soon after surgery did you start back up?

Hi there, I breed and show Highland ponies, and do a great deal of riding, I have recently had a large peristomal hernia repaired from around my old ileostomy and a new ileostomy formed on the other side. That was 6 weeks ago, and I began mucking out and riding last week, I also have a supra-pubic catheter and I do everything from hunting to dressage, and showing my ponies all over the country. I also have two dogs and 3 grandchildren, so basically never sit down
