@yssaf, please accept my belated welcome. I really appreciate your sharing your story along with @omardr's comment supporting @jenmo and decisio-making. It helps so much to hear from others who have been there.

I hope you'll also follow the Ostomy support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/ostomy/

Yousif, you mention that you have returned to your active lifestyle with a stoma without feeling limited. Can you share an activity that you thought you'd have to adapt or give up and that you were able to continue after all?

Hi Colleen ,
Sorry for the late feed back ,
see examples examples ,
I was worried that i will not be able to do cycling and thankfully i did .
I was also worried that i will not be able to take shower without carefully thinking about the stoma , it turns out it's totally ok .
Camping activities for longer hours , I doing as i was before .
Running , I am running with a belt on .

Hope this will help
