NO FEAR. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER WHEN EXPLORING SURGICAL OPTIONS
A Four-Part Webinar Series
Please join Ostomysecrets & The Bad Tummy Foundation for a four-part educational webinar series where we will explore surgical options when faced with an extreme inflammatory bowel disease flare or other diseases necessitating surgery. These webcasts will focus on:
PART 1: ENCOURAGEMENT & HOPE
Sharing the personal experience of IBD patients and ostomates
Join Kristin Knipp, ostomysecrets® employee and ostomate of 20 years, as she shares her personal experience with inflammatory bowel disease, j-pouch surgery, and a permanent ostomy. She received her ileostomy at age 15, and has since conquered many life milestones: college, dating, maintaining a full-time job with a chronic illness, marriage, pregnancy with an ostomy, travel and more! She'll inspire you and prove there's great quality of life to be had after surgery.
PART 2: EDUCATION FROM A WOCN
Knowledge from a certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse
Donna Sellers is a certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse with 25 years experience working with ostomy and IBD patients. Join us as Donna highlights the different options that are available when considering surgical management of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
PART 3: USEFUL TIPS ON DAILY LIFE
Options for a healthy lifestyle if ostomy surgery becomes a reality
In this informative session, we will be sharing practical advice for every day living with an ostomy. Learn about: how to make your wardrobe ostomy-friendly, intimacy with a pouch, returning to exercise, swimming (yes... it can be done!), and other relevant topics suggested by our participants.
PART 4: YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
A roundtable discussion where your questions will be answered
Join us for a roundtable discussion focused on your informational needs. We'll review the info covered in previous webcasts and answer the questions we've received from participants during the webinar series. We will strive to answer your questions about anything and everything surgery-related. The more knowledge you obtain, the better decisions you can make when presented with choices related to your disease management.
