The main thing I wanted when I first got mine was to be able to speak to someone with the same thing but I didn't have that available to me. It would have helped to have more information and therefore easier to come to terms with.

You are not alone. When I first had my ostomy surgery I felt alone and was afraid people would no and could tell I had one. You really can't tell and there are more people than you think out there with surgery. Research reader helps reasearch websites and books

Have humor, accept your stoma, for it saved your life. Learn to laugh at yourself. Name your stoma. Mine is named Lily, so that way when it makes noise, you can blame it on Lily. ;)
