- Today I wanted to share some of my stoma friendly swimsuits I purchased for the summer! I have found a balance between hiding my ostomy away and letting it show for everyone to see. My goal this year was to find some confidence with my swimwear, but also comfort! I hope you enjoy this video!

Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #ostomy #ibd #chronicillness

“People tend to watch when you have intestines hangin out of your stomach, they are curious “ you are amazing haha 🥰
When she said that I cracked up so hard!! 🤣
“Hmm yes, her insides seem to be on the outside, interesting”
As a young man I had an ostomy for several years. I continued with my sport of surfing with the appliance under my wetsuit, on numerous occasions it would be come off when worked over by a wave, but with the physical activity my gut was usually quiet.
To make lying on my belly to paddle comfortable I created an indent in the top of the board to accommodate the stoma.
There was another young man I surfed with that also had an ostomy, He’d had a motorcycle accident and lost his left leg above the hip, rectum and genitals. There is always someone less fortunate than one’s self.
Just love her!
Great job and you are beautiful
As a surgeon, these videos are actually quite helpful, in planning exit sites of ostomies, so great that you are sharing , and quite brave. Thank u.
All of your swim suits look flattering and beautiful on you. Your husband is amazing and so very sweet and supportive
He’s a good guy ❤
When I got my first stoma back in 1991 I was 23 and I found a bikini that had these cute ruffles on it. I remember showing my ostomy nurse my bikini and it was the first time she had ever seen an ostomy patient with a bikini.
You are a really beautiful young woman. Not only that, you are extremely intelligent and articulate. There is something wonderful in the way you avoid self pity and victimhood. It’s an inspiration for me.
Are you serious you don’t know her at all or what she goes though she’s allowed to feel sorry for herself
@@michellebaymiller3388 Je pense que tu m’as malcompris.
@@michellebaymiller3388 What? Leslie was paying Maggie a huge compliment!
@@michellebaymiller3388you completely misunderstood what Leslie was saying.

Maggie, first, amazing! You look great! Also… I needed to hear this so badly today!!!! I have lost 30 pounds since getting my ostomy 6 months ago. I have always had hips and curves on the lower half of my body and now I am so skinny now I basically see ribs up top and am flat the rest of the way down. It is hard for me to look at my face in the mirror because I feel like it has aged me 20 years. Nearly every time I am going through something, feeling something, having an issue, so ironically a video you made will come up and make me feel so much better!!! Thanks!!!!!❤
First, I'm a not so young male with IBD. There are aspects of the disorder that frankly frighten me. Still though Maggie, all hats off to you for your courage and insight. I belong to an IBD support group several of whom have ostomies. I do not [yet] have one and hope I don't get to that point. However, watching some of the videos of your journey makes me less apprehensive should I need that level of surgery. I commend your loving and supportive husband; together you two make a great team, and individually you each are a force to be reckoned with.
I'm a father of a girl (married now) and a grandfather of girls. I'm aware of the concerns, anxieties, and false ideas that contribute to harmful body images young women face. I'm seeing this already in my girls, and it frightens me. Fortunately they have good parents who are well grounded. You should absolutely enjoy your outings without any regrets nor regards for (ignorance?) of other people. You may just in fact be lending strength and courage to others on the beach facing similar medical conditions. Keep making the world beautiful!
Maggie, you look stunning in your new swimwear!! Love them all. Love your vlogs as well!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤
You said that you felt that you looked good and felt confident. Know what? It showed. By the way you walked out, you exude confidence and knew that you LOOK GOOD. And, yes your husband thought you looked real good too. His "right away" response to the white suit was so real. And he liked the next one as well. All four are good. Second and third are wow. Fourth is good, as you say, for swimming. So cute. Have fun. Don't forget the sunscreen!
You look great in all of the swimsuits! I'm glad you filmed Zak's reactions, too! 😍😄 May you both have many fun swimming adventures this summer! 👙🏊🏻♀️😊❤️
I love how encouraging and enthusiastic Zak was! They all look great!
Maggie you’re so beautiful and oh so brave! Your video popped in my feed and I watched your story and subscribed because your courage, kindness is felt throughout. Your will to live and tell your story is pure bravery. You look beautiful in all the swim suits. Wishing you and your husband a healthy and happy summer.
Maggie you look amazing in all of them, wowee. You look like a supermodel 🎉. You really chose well, all the pieces are beautiful and fit so perfectly. I really enjoyed Zak's reaction.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hugs to you both 💐💐💐💐💐
You are right. The swim wear fits you well. Good picks. No one would know that you have been through so much. ❤
I have a colostomy and I am going through so much skin problems I am trying to find a way to heal my skin. I am so glad I found your videos. You are amazing and give me hope thank you.
Maggie you are gorgeous! Fabulous figure, and your Ostomy is the last thing folk will be looking at. You are definitely womanly.. such an inspiration to so many people 😘 xx
Great choices in color, style and structure! You look amazing in Al of them! You are so right about taking the time to find the clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. EVERYONE (whether they have an ostomy or not) have something about themselves that makes you feel uncomfortable. When you find clothing that looks good, you feel good about yourself and comfortable wearing them.
Great video thanks! Very inspirational, I really admire your confidence and you looked absolutely amazing in all of them! When I got my ileostomy I went and bought a couple of high waisted bikinis, not too different to yours, but I just don't have the confidence to wear them! What you do is so important, not only are you helping people like me feel more confident but you are raising awareness. And that's pretty awesome. Thank you x ❤️
My fav is the Pink and White! You give me hope, faith and courage. Thank you so much for uploading vids. 👍
Love all of those...you look beautiful in them and love Zak's reaction...go have fun you two❤
I stumbled on your videos randomly, but even after the struggles you've had, you give off positive vibes and radiate warmth and beauty. Your husband is a lucky man.
These swimsuits look so good on you. I personally like the high waisted swimsuits as well. I think they are really cute!
Those were all SO cute! I was surprised at how high up #1 & 3 went. That is awesome! Have fun wearing them at the beach and in the water! 💞
Maggie you looked beautiful in all those swimsuits! I loved Zak’s reactions, he did a fantastic job of lifting you up!
My daughter had a major abdominal surgery at 4 days old. I always told her be proud of that scar it’s the reason you’re alive. And now at 28 she wears what ever with pride.
You so rocked all of those swimsuits!! You should feel beautiful in them because you look incredible!!
Those suits are beautiful on you!!!
You looked lovely in your suits! They looked flattering and you looked so happy. Bless you and your husband.
My vote is the white one piece. You look like a Bond girl!
All the swim suits look beautiful on you, my favorite is the white one! You look absolutely stunning in it
I feel you in the “chest left behind” part
Except I hit 21 realized they weren’t going anywhere and decided to enhance them. Best decision ever, about to have them replaced ((it’s been almost 20 years since I did this)).
Not a decision for everyone but I was tired of having my wide hips and no tatas lol so I ran with it :)
You’re beautiful regardless never forget that!!
I love all of them! You look amazing! Since I started watching your videos I feel so much like a normal person
Wow that second one took my breath away!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a prettier swimsuit
I hope you kept them all. You look awesome in all the bathing suits
Gorgeous Maggie! You look fantastic but the most important thing is that you feel good and confident. ❤
You look lovely in all four! Confidence makes everyone look wonderful! You are so helpful and inspirational! Thank you!!
They all look great on you, Maggie. I think my personal fave is the white one. That will look fab with a tan. Zak is such a sweetheart!
I have just found your channel and absolutely adore you and Ur content during a emergency surgery after my hysterectomy at 33 they accidentally cut my bowel lucky I had a great surgeon who was able to repair it so I only lost my sigmoid colon. But the way u talk in your videos feels like your talking to a friend keep doing what you are doing girl proud of you
What a breath of fresh air you are! U are amazing! I wish I was half as confident in my skin as u are in yours. That white one piece man.....woohoo! You are a BOSS!!!
Maggie you look fabulous in all of the swimsuits. I really love the Wow factor of the pink striped suit
All of the suits look absolutely adorable ❤️
Maggie!! You’re absolutely adorable in all of these suits-enjoy the summer!!
I absolutely adored the retro blue one!❤
But you looked wonderful in all of them 😊❤
You look great in all of them!! I loved the high waisted bottoms on the bikinis. I loved them all, but my fave was the white one-piece. I just ordered a new suit myself! 😊
You looked amazing in those bathing suites ❤ your confidence just glowed enjoy every day of summer xxx
I’m so incredibly happy for you! You look fa-bu-lous! I’m going on a three weeks vacation on Saturday and my search for swimwear was agony. The enormous prolapse of my ostomy (inoperable) and the placement leave me nothing but Tankinis with a wide top. I haven’t found a single one that I liked. There might be hundreds where I live (not the US), but the patterns and colours are simply vile. Example: uneven chevrons in purple, mustard and green. Every pattern looks like a cleaning apron from the 70s that an 80-years old lady would wear.
You honestly look stunning in all 4. The white one is stand out from all of them for me because it's just so classic and va va voom.
The white one piece was my favorite, though it covered up more to me it seemed the sexier of the 4 of them. It looked like something Barbie would wear lol. Wearing that next to a pool with a big sun hat and a drink in your hand would look glamorous
The white suit is so elegant! The others are super cute!
WOW ! Maggie you rock every one of those bathing suits!!! I think the first one is my favorite. But i really love them all ! Zac sure did also by his reaction ! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You look so beautiful !!! Sending you both love from Ohio ❤️
You look amazing in them all. Such great choices and Zachs face says it all 🙂
You look beautiful in all of them ! Loved Zacks reaction to the white one piece .
Maggie, I love your channel and your bathing suites. I have Crohn's Disease and Hydrocephalus, among other things. I've found that my most recent VP shunt valve is very noticable. There's nothing that I can really do to hide it, that's comfortable. Therefore, I've just learned to embrace it. Like your ostomy, my valve isn't going anywhere. Unless it's switched for a different model. Most adult valves are more bigger and more noticable. Keep being who you are, sharing your wisdom and content.
Enjoy your summer girl. You’ve been through a lot and you deserve the best.
Hi Maggie, thank you so much for what you do for ostomy patients. And really, you are a beautiful woman.
You look so good and so CONFIDENT Maggie! 🥰💪🏻 I am a pink girl, so the pink one was my favorite, but they all was looking stunning on you! Love Zach’s reactions too! He is a keeper and you are so sweet together ❤
I am full of scars after medical issues. I cover them always up, or I swim alone or with a friend that know and don’t care and I feel safe with. I will not recommend swimming alone, even though I do 😉
Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
You are such a beautiful person. I cannot imagine what you have been through but you are an inspiration. Good luck and keep smiling. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa
Zak is so cute the way he talks to you and just adores you 😊
I have a 9 week old temporary colostomy. Before I got it I had ordered 3 high waisted bikinis from cupshe. I can't be more thrilled with how they fit and cover and protect my bag!
Loved this video! Really special the way you help so many people. 🙏🏻😘
My big attraction trigger towards women is confidence. You got it going girl. I am sure you help a lot of women and men cross the threshold. Lots of love.
Gurl... you're GORGEOUS! I like them all but the White one is very elegant and i feel like it's the most flatrring shape but not by far!
How ever, I could see it for a pool party and it gives less beachy/ocean vibes. The bikinis are so beautiful! I love how the legs of the Victoria's secret's ones highlights your legs! Very flattering. I'm so happy you can feel confident in bikinis...! High waste is a God sent. I don't know how we survived the 2000's with low waist. I'm never going back! 🤣
Thank you for all the joy and body positivity. I don't know much about stomas and chron's disease; I'm here for your personality (but learning along the way, yay!). Your work is important, I'm sure for people leaving with IBD but as someone who doesn't have it, I can tell, you're touching a lot of people with other disabilities. Thank you 💜
You look great in all of them. I like the white one the best. I'm 76 years old and have had my ostomy for 7 years. I think the irritated skin is almost worse than the break thoughs. I appreciate your spirit and you sharing your life. Thanks
As a nurse, I am so impressed and in awe of you! You go girl~
The white one was my favorite.
That white one fit you so well it looked like it was made just for you! They all looked great, but the fit on that white one amazes me. I can never find anything that fits that well!
You look great in the swim suits!! It's good seeing Zac too.
You look beautiful in all of these Maggie! Thank you for sharing - your bravery and open-ness is inspiring 😁 best wishes from England 🇬🇧❤
You look good in all of them ❤.What a great and supportive husband you have.
I absolutely respect how you acknowledged people are going to naturally look!
Omg that white one is stunning! I love the seashell detail, it gives it a retro vibe and the white looks super chic. My second fave is the pink stripes, it’s totally giving new Barbie movie in the best way 💞
Wow! U weren’t wrong!!!! U look so very 100% top of any contest- the best. Omg !! U could b a model for top designers!!!!
White is risky without an ostomy! I won’t buy anything white because I know how spill prone I am, lol. They all look amazing!
You look amazing, I’m so glad you’ve found swim wear you can wear and feel comfortable in.
I was very small chested when I was younger, as well. I kept wondering also why I didn’t have the body my mother did. But, having children changed everything. You’ll grow as you get older. Don’t stress. Also, you are beautiful as you are!!❤
I have crohns disease .
No oestomy bag.
But a rather long scar ,
The first operation was when I was 20 years old. 5 major ops - resections and then a few minor for fistulas
I have always worn bikinis .
And show my scar off with pride ,like you. I am slim and refuse to hide my figure . Do people look? I honestly can t tell you as I focus on me and my children .My partner like yours is always saying, "Wow 👌 .
So, yep, enjoy your trip and wear those gorgeous swimsuits with pride hun .
Much love from the UK ❤️ 🤍 💙 🇬🇧
You are gorgeous anyway but your body shape is beautiful too! Love the swimsuits you chose. Go strut your bad self-you deserve it❤️
Maggie you were rockin those bathing suits!!!!! You wear them suits with all the confidence in the world…… you look beautiful! They look great on you my favorite was the blue green and black one❤😊.
Those swimsuits were stunning on you! I was a lake child. I spent my first 10 years of life living across the lake from my grandparents, who had lakefront property. I now gravitate towards Rashard swimsuit tops with a high waist bottom. I haven't worn a swimsuit in many years though. I am large chested and overweight. Not an easy combo to fit into a cute suit.
All those were quite pretty and I had no clue what kind of swimwear someone would need as someone who has never used one nor known anyone who has so I was curious when this video popped up on my feed
Thanks for making this wonderful content!! Yeah - you DO look good! Great suits. Great job finding what fits you, and this is awesome. I have a few friends who have ostomies and finding what to wear for summer fun or vacay can be hard. I’m glad to be able to tell them about your vid!!
I like all four on you. If they weren’t very expensive, keep all four! Wear them depending on your mood! ❤❤❤😊😊
You are stunning in all the suits! You are also a beautiful, kind, funny and so honest. Thanks for the show!
Very pretty. You look beautiful in them all. I love the white for a more elegant time in the water and I think definitely on the VS pink and white. But they all looked nice on you. Glad youve got the confidence to wear them and you should.
Wow! They all look sooo good on you! Can you give some advice on how to ask questions or approach you when wanting to ask things about your condition but also polite and respectful way; just in a curious and “want to know about it” way. Thanks for sharing this!
I loveeeee the white one, but then again I love classical looks but you look stunning in it!
I'm 64. In my whole life I have never been able to try on four swimsuits and have them all fit, never mind look that great. (favorites are 1 and 3 BTW). I'm "normal" weight and height. I'd say one in 10 are passable for me. 1 in 20 are decent. 1 in 50 are great. So you go girl!!! get them allllllll
All of those bathing costumes look good on you Maggie. If I was to pick out the nicest one it would be the last one, but even then it is hard to pick out one from the other nice ones. Hi Zak. 🤗 🐨 🦘🦘 💖
you look amazing! The 1st one is my favorite!
All the suits were so so sweet and pretty on you! You definitely look womanly and lovely. So glad you found some that work for you, I can imagine it's a challenge.
They all looked amazing! I was literally reading today how big bikini bottoms on the beach are super on trend! ❤
I think I’m having more fun seeing Zak’s reactions😂 j/k. Maggie they all look amazing
The suits are very beautiful and you looked so very nice in them as well. Thank you for sharing .Take care, enjoy.
You look so beautiful in all 4 bathing suits, so happy for you, enjoy your summer .
Thank you!!
GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS! First TWO than the last suit - DROP DEAD GORGEOUS ❤️😀❤️😀
aww your husbands reaction is so sweet! That striped one is so good!
Love them all! But the white one is my fave--it's just so classy looking on you. Your figure could wear anything. Thanks for sharing; you are a true gem..and your hubby is too. 💖
Yes, people will not be looking at your ostomy. They will be thinking what a attractive lady in a beautiful swimsuit.
You rocked them all, great choices.
They all look amazing on you ...as a brand new viewer I'm so in awe of your honestly and attitude. Looking forward to seeing those holiday snaps
You two are my favorite humans in the world!❤
