Children who manage an ostomy have a lot on their plate, on top of the regular stressors of navigating school and growing up. About 1 out of every 500 people in the U.S. go through life with an ostomy, so chances are your child is neither the first nor the only one at their school to have one.
Adjusting to life after an ostomy surgery can take time. You may be wondering how you will resume your normal activities now that you have a stoma. The good news is that people with ostomies are usually able to do all the things they did before surgery. One of the most important things for getting back to your activities without hassles is having access to products that best fit your unique body, stoma, and lifestyle.
