Has anyone heard anything on this?

I had a friend tell me something about his sister-in-law having an electronic butthole. Supposedly, it even has a remote control. I thought he was being his normal self and messing with me, but he was serious. I never investigated it. There is no use, my rear end has been sewn shut.
MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,441 members.
“I mostly read and still feel like I belong.”
“Doctors took notes; they want others to find this website.”
“From midnight blowouts to big wins, there’s always a hand to hold.”

MeetAnOstoMate website turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I say this because, for me, this ostomy journey was a devastating event both physically and mentally.
Here, I found folks who understood my feelings even better than my family or friends could. Only a fellow ostomate can understand how you really feel.
Information sharing is key, as well as support and understanding, to ultimately bring more harmony into our ostomy life journey. I found here, virtually no ostomy questions that are not touched upon. Questions which some might feel, may be too trivial to contact a doctor about or even too shy or embarrassed to ask their own doctor about. They are all addressed here.
For me, anonymity was very helpful in seeking answers to each phase of this life changing medical and mental event. Sharing initial trauma feelings, ongoing support and finally acceptance was what I found with my membership here. I am not sure what my mental and physical attitude would be today without having found this site.
Additional benefits included: finding products and ideas to help with daily maintenance, innovative ideas and as a bonus - some great humor.
After all “laughter IS the best medicine”.
I have been a member for 3 years, an ostomate for 4 years - yes, I certainly wish I would have found it immediately after surgery but so very thankful I finally found it when I did as I truly believe it turned my troubled depression and situation into a more positive attitude and acceptance.
Sincerely,
An Ileostomate nicknamed Justbreathe 🫶🏼

Interesting. Mine is sewn closed as well. If there is such a thing, there should be a way to unsew and reconstruct?

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

What an interesting thought! I always said that with today's technology, it should be better than it is! At least have a valve where you can empty your colon when you want and not have to deal with bags and leaks and all the other issues surrounding an ostomy! Not a happy thought as far as the ostomy supply companies go! I even told my colorectal surgeon that I would do the research and write the grants if he would finance! He played poormouth! Lol

Lol! Way too funny! Now if my iRobot can be told to go vacuum my house from my phone, what should that be a stretch! Someone has got to put it on the table to find interest in researching the medical technology side!

Just because we have Barbie butts, does not mean they cannot mourn connect current colon to synthetic tubing to come out the same place as it used to!

And what if someone hacked your bionic sphincter? Funny and tragic at the same time.

I would probably do it if it's covered by insurance unless they considered it cosmetic lol
