Welcome Clint!

Merry Christmas to you.  I wonder what you will get for your birthday?  😂

But in all seriousness, welcome aboard. It sounds like you are aware of all this site has to offer. The support here on the forums supplements all Eric’s offerings very nicely.

Hi Clint, I am almost two years out from surgery, and mine was uneventful, also (it was on my husband’s birthday!). Wonderful people on these forums, and I regularly browse through the information that Eric has on the site - how I appreciate VeganOstomy ❤️.  Nice to meet you! LL

PS  I could go on and on, but as long as you are considering names for your stoma, there’s Magnum Force, and Every Which Way But Loose ....😊

I love the smell of coffee in the morning. It smells like .... victory.
