How do I tell others about my surgery?

It is natural to wonder how you will explain your surgery and how others will accept you.

You can tell them as much as you want them to know. A brief explanation would be that you had abdominal surgery or that you had part or your entire colon removed.  If you have children, answer their questions simply and truthfully.  A simple explanation will be enough for them.  Talking about your surgery in a natural way will dispel any misconceptions that they have.
