Hi Melissa

I had my surgery about 14 years ago .  My first relation****p after my
ileostomy was with a nurse I met while in hospital ... I guess she
knew what to expect .
But since then I have had physical relation****ps with four other women
(, with no problems in their acceptance of the " bag "
The last one we have been together for 10 years so I guess that is
meaningful .
I am not sure however that men might be so accepting as women .
I am sure that if they are too afraid to stick around then they would
not be worth having a relation****p if you were not an ostomate
