This topic is about navigating the world of dating and relationships when you have an ostomy. It shares a personal story of overcoming initial heartbreak to find lasting love, offering hope and guidance for others in similar situations.

- Real love is about who you are on the inside, not just how you look on the outside. Look for partners who appreciate you for your true self, beyond the ostomy.
- A partner who can handle life's ups and downs is more valuable than someone who only cares about appearances. Seek someone who is ready to face challenges with you.
- Sometimes, when one door closes, another, better one opens. Being rejected because of an ostomy doesn't mean you won't find a supportive and lasting relationship.
