Hey there Everyone 👋🏼

I’m new to this amazing community ☺️

My names Hollie & I am 27 years old.

Since 11 years of age I have been suffering with Bowel Endometriosis.

It took years to get the correct diagnosis & many teams of specialists doctors.

Now 10 months later I have my STOMA BAG Stacey.

This little lady (bag) took some of the painful symptoms away and she has given me some of my sparkle back which I lost along the way of my health journey ✨

Having a STOMA bag gives you the chance to live a happier healthier life .

I spent majority of my early 20s in hospitals getting tests done or operations. I have had 5 surgeries now for Endometriosis & a further 2 more to go🤞🏻(colon removal this month) I am nervous about it but I am one tough cookie and I’m just so excited to live pain free I can’t remember my life without ENDO…

Ask me is it easy & I will tell you NO

but

Ask me is it worth it & I will tell you YES YES AND YES AGAIN 🫶

Being young & healthy is the greatest blessing you could have never take your health for granted!!❤️‍🔥☺️

you are so right when you say never take your health for granted, I say this to the “well” people I know. 💛
