Hi @tracy430,

It sounds like you’ve been through so much! I’m so glad you’ve joined this group, and was wondering if you had an opportunity to view this Mayo Clinic Connect discussion:
– Ostomy: Adapting to life after colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ostomy-adapting-to-life-after-colostomy-ileostomy-or-urostomy/
It’s an incredibly informative conversation, where fellow members have shared their experiences, insights and tips about life before and after ostomy.

Another Connect discussion that I would really encourage you to read through is, "Three months after colon surgery” https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/three-months-after-colon-surgery/ where you will meet @joyce1 @starrlight @sallyg @nannytart @travelgirl @swatson. I’d also like to bring in @maet @frane1939 @lamerex4 t see if they might be able to share more about colon resection and diverticulitis.
