Following the circulation of Perry’s story, many people in the ostomy community took umbrage with the actor painting an ostomy as a worst-case scenario and the last thing you’d ever want to have. Such comments, many ostomates argued, bolster negative stigmas and stereotypes.addressing the potentially harmful way Perry framed his experience.
That being said, I certainly don’t begrudge anyone for feeling negatively about having an ostomy because the truth is, it can really suck. I was 19 when I got my first ileostomy, following an emergency surgery to get my colon removed because of complications from Crohn’s disease. I was able to get a reversal surgery almost two years later—an option that is not always available to everyone—and I was thrilled about that.
