Product Description
This invaluable reference discusses every aspect of an ostomy - a surgical procedure that creates an alternative opening in the body for waste discharge from the kidney, colon, intestines, or bladder - from the first shock of diagnosis through surgery and rehabilitation. The co-author's moving and motivational story of her colostomy experience is blended with information on the latest surgical techniques and equipment, providing prospective ostomy patients with both the medical and emotional know-how to confidently approach the surgery. This revised edition also contains up-to-date material on virtual colonoscopies and travel regulations related to ostomy pouches, as well as essential facts on how to safely handle sex, pregnancy, and sports after an ostomy.

Customer Reviews
A must-have for any ostomate
This book was given to me by a friend when I was in the hospital awaiting ostomy surgery. I must've read it 1,000 times...it became a reference guide and a best friend--the only friend I had who'd been through this surgery. Her writing is clear and comes from her own personal experience. It has practical advice on ostomy management as well as advice on getting through the emotional roller-coaster of ostomy surgery. An excellent book for anyone going through, or even considering, ostomy surgery.
Very Good Guide for Ostomates
This book is one of the few available specifically for people with ostomies. This book guides you from the ostomy surgery to dealing with social situations. I don't have an ostomy, but it gives useful advice and assurance, particularly in helping people know what to expect before and after an ostomy.
