Finding your way through the world of ostomies and J-pouches can be challenging, but you’re not alone. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned veteran in managing your condition, the Calgary Ostomy & J-Pouch Virtual Support Group offers a community filled with understanding, resources, and invaluable support.

Our meeting is an opportunity to connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through. Share your experiences, learn from others, and find the emotional support to make all the difference in your journey.

Our discussion will cover critical aspects of ostomy management, including diet, hydration, and how to choose the right appliances for your needs.

For those with a J-pouch, we’re planning a “breakout group” session, depending on attendance, to focus on your unique challenges and questions.

Who Should Attend?

This event is designed for anyone with an ileostomy, urostomy, colostomy, J-pouch, or those looking to learn more about living with these conditions. Please note that this is our final support group before summer break, to resume in the fall.

RSVP: Please confirm your attendance and specify your surgery type to ensure we can tailor the session to meet your needs.

Join us from the comfort of your home for an evening of support, learning, and connection. We look forward to seeing you there!
