looking for a support group for new patient that is having difficulty dealing with a temporary ostomy. Is there such thing with this organization or elsewhere on the internet.

By the way, i love the idea that i can donate all of the unused supplies to other patients... Will certainly sign up for this once i have my reversal and there is no need for any supplies anymore.

Check on the main page of this site in the menu selections for local support groups in your area.

Reddit/otosmy seems to be a high volume otosmy traffic web site. So you might get some advice there.
.

Unfortunately not a lot of people want to deal with the depressive issue of otosmy's, in fact a lot of nurses I've talked to don't like doing wound care. I can't blame them I'm sick of dealing with my own problem. I'm having a hard time finding someone to help me when I'm in frail mode.

The only solution seems to be ones own self caretaker unfortunately and learning, learning, learning.
