It’s normal to feel anxious if you are about to have stoma surgery and you are concerned about what life might be like afterwards. You have almost certainly met an ostomate (a person living with a stoma) before but you just didn’t know it! What’s more, people with a stoma can lead normal lives. They have careers, they have partners and start families, they play sport and travel all over the world.
Our booklet ‘Living with a stoma’ takes you from the early days after your operation, through to getting your life back on track. It includes advice on diet, sport and exercise.
