There are a lot of online dating services, but this one is special. This site is for single ostomates from around the world to meet up through email, chats, and even video. Users have exchanged 2,700 messages since the site went online just over one year ago. Live chats are Wednesdays at 8PM EST.

Dear Amber,

I just wanted to post a small update to your nice blog. MeetAnOstoMate.com has now grown to be more than a dating website and has become a network for people with ostomies from around the world.

Our forum has become the second largest ostomy-related forum on the web and besides the usual fun that our members have on it, there is a wealth of knowledge and advice. Along with the usual help that members provide to each other, we also enjoy the volunteering of a few ET nurses, who answer members’ questions.

The membership at MeetAnOstoMate.com has grown to almost 2000 and we have over 6000 visitors (registered and non-registered) coming every month. At this point in time members have exchanged over 12,000 messages and posted closed to 2000 articles in the Forum.

Keep up the great work!
