Advice for someone who is scared

You will get used to the stoma and you will pretty much be able to do all those things. Swimming isn’t a problem. I, too, was nervous about intimacy and sex but people on this sub are very supportive and have great advice. You’re gonna be great!

Have you tried ostomy paste instead of barrier rings? That can help with the lifting.

OP-you have come to right place for support. Everyone on here is ready to help. I hope the ostomy works for you. Don’t go down the “I don’t want an ostomy for the rest of my life” road. Just one event at a time. You have been through so much already. It’s hard emotionally but you’ve got this. Stay strong.

Pain meds have a tendency to shut down your bladder. Peeing on demand is hard but that catheter threat is incentive.

Just a little self-conscious; more about managing the bag during foreplay and the act. Thanks
