I have never done this before, so bear with me. I had a colostomy done in March of 08. It has taken me almost 6 months to feel better. Anyone who has to get any kind of ostomy, I feel for you. It is very hard at first to adjust to, but everyone manages it at some point and time. Everyone is different when it comes to surgery. Timetables are different for each individual. But all in all, everyone adapts to their physical needs. Anyone who is going to have an ostomy worries about how they will be perceived by friends and family. DON'T WORRY! If someone loves you, they will accept you for who you are. If they don't, screw them! There are people who understand what you are about to go through. You will adjust and be a normal part of society again and live life to the fullest. Good luck to all of you who are going to have or already have an ostomy. Best wishes to all.

Hey, welcome to the forum. Nice first post... Now let's see a photo of that Panhead!!!
Shovelhead myself, or at least used to be... God, I miss her. Sure, I had to kick her every time before I rode her... But I loved the old girl just the same.

Yep, I've ridden them Goldwings... Dad had one and rode that thing everywhere.
Now Jim... you know I am required to tell a Honda joke here... How do you double the value of a Honda? Fill it up with gas!!!!
Nothing personal, and please don't take offense... You can even tell the magnetic rear bumper Harley joke (sure you know that one).

Hi Panhead511
I am fairly new to the forum myself.
I had an ileostomy done a year ago.
I am doing fairly well now,
but it did take some time for me to get used to.
And I agree with you ...
some people will help you through it, and be there for you, and others will fall away. The hell with them who don't stand by you, they weren't friends to begin with if they walk away..
This is when you really get to know ....
