I was diagnosed with Ogilvie’s Syndrome in 2018. Had an ileostomy in October of 2018. Later developed a herniated stoma.

Welcome @idino and @msgtrebholtz.

@idino, I am unfamiliar with Ogilvie Syndrome. It sounds like diagnosis to ileostomy to herniated stoma moved really fast for you. What has been done about the parastomal hernia? Have you had to have surgery and move the stoma?

Jason, your attitude is commendable and that you've adjusted to "life with a bag" reasonably easily will be a great support to others here. How has the ileostomy given you a new lease on life? What are you able to do now that you couldn't before?
