Life with an Ostomy can be confusing and full of questions! We are here to answer all the questions you have from Ostomy to Marriage, Fashion to Confidence! I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 14. Soon after I had my first ostomy placed. I had the 3 part surgery which ended in my Colon being removed and a J-Pouch being placed. I lived with a J-pouch for 5 years until a severe complication during my first pregnancy called for a second ostomy to be placed. I now live a full and fulfilled life with my beautiful family. I have learned to live life through tragedies.
