hahaha thats awesome.. I like thisWhen I first got my stoma in 1986, I named it Phil the bag (get it? Fill the bag). Then in 1996 I started to date (now married) my husband name Phil.
Years later whenever I'd talk to my best friend about Phil being a pain or causing trouble there would be a bit of confusion...which Phil is it? your husband or the ostomy. So after my surgery in August 2010 which was a revision, and out of respect for my wonderful husband, I changed the name to Bob as the stoma would "bob" up and down when it'd go.
Now whenever I see one of my many doctors (aka my A team) they will always ask me "How's Bob doing?" I will tell them, "fine, thank you for asking."
If I really wanted to be a wise @ss, when I was asked how I was feeling, I'd say WITH MY HANDS!!! hee heee heeee . My physicians LOOOVVVEEEE seeing me. :rof:
lol!!Mine's called Oscar...as in Oscar the Pouch, and sometimes the Grouch....lol
:rof: Love it!Mine looks like a clown nose and makes lots of squeals and fart noises at the worst times, so my husband named it Sideshow Bob.
Nice!Harry as in dirty Harry !
That is the funnest, I called my stoma the blob!!!:applause:I watched The Blob with Steve McQueen a few days before i went for my Op and when i first saw my blob it had eyes and a nose and was looking up at me quite lovingly and it reminded me of The Blob, so i called it 'El Blobito' :ylol:
Wow! Your stoma has some serious eyebrows! :ylol2:Mine's called Alf, because he looks like Alf of my profile pic.
Hahaha!!! I would love to see a picture of that!I may have to draw them on actually, I'm sure my wife would find that funny...
Ok, you can't say that and not give us the name and story!!My husband went the political route with his naming of the stoma.
We've been married 25+ years, yet have never agreed politically, so I find it highly offensive! :rof:
I never thought of naming my hernias... Helen is cute! My little friend left me, but his name was Pancake.lil Stomy is a fine name I don't have a stoma but I do have a hernia that I have named Helen. Helen the lil hernia
2thFairy it does come with the best jokes doesn't it? My husband says we had to get a dog because he had no one to blame farts on every time we hear "get your head out of your butt", or "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one" we have a good laugh.My husband and I were getting jokes ready before my surgery even happened and were just waiting for the day to be able to use them. I had no plans to give mine a name. However, because we are weird anyway, it just fit right in for a name to happen. It seems to detach the awkwardness of the whole thing and others have come to know about Bob. People who felt uncomfortable to ask about my surgery now feel free to ask about Bob because they see that it is a funny thing for me rather than a taboo subject.

I think I might resume using my stoma's name for the sake of my very verbal 22 month old daughter... can't wait until she brags to her preschool mates how mama poopoos in a bag. Good thing I'm way past being embarrassed about it!
I love retrievers they are such gentle and sweet pups.
What does that mean?Nobu
