I go to the beach and let my colostomy bag show. And right next to that is a massive Scar from 7 abdominal operations. If you live in Washington or Seattle you may have heard of the Solstice parade in a Fremont neighborhood. Here is a bike ride hey everybody rides naked. Body paint is the theme Here the crazier the better. This year I've decided to ride in the parade. I have a medical scrubs theme with the hat and the mask if I feel I don't want to be recognized. But my pouch and my scar will show open painted shirt. This is going to be a challenge for me but I'm going for it wish me luck

Hi AM. I respect your intention, but why don't you want to be recognized?
Good luck,
Mike

I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days.
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

Went on ride had a great time, was not the only one with an oddity. They all made me feel very welcome. But I will not ride my bike naked in 24 degree weather ever again. Froze my ass off along with everybody else.

For reasons too numerous to write, I will never, ever attempt or even think of attempting to ride a bike bare-ass in any temperature on any planet in any universe. You did it; I respect that. Just not sure about any of it.
