Bag of Life: Ostomy Living Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the lead-up to ostomy surgery, the first days and weeks of learning to manage a stoma, the emotional recalibration around body image and intimacy, and the longer journey toward confidence and normalcy. Some writers also speak about reversal; others about building a full life with a permanent ostomy.

Who it's for

For those approaching ostomy surgery, those newly post-operative and still finding their footing, and partners and families who want to understand what recovery — and life afterward — genuinely looks like.
