OstoChat

My ostomy is not my identity — I am more than just my bag.
This group is a safe, empowering space for ostomates to come together, share, heal, and thrive. Whether you're new to life with an ostomy or have been living with one for years, you are welcome here.


We believe in community over isolation, strength over stigma, and authenticity over shame. This space is about celebrating the whole you — your passions, your goals, your struggles, and your triumphs.
