I want you to understand the most important thing right from the start: my ostomy saved my life, providing me with the perfect body!


For those who have recently undergone ostomy procedures, the transition can present new obstacles. From what to expect, to ostomy- and self-care, dressing your new body, intimacy, and new beauty routines, navigating life post ostomy may feel overwhelming and can even challenge your self-esteem.

In So Much More than My Ostomy, Ellyn Mantell--"ostomate," advocate, and renowned motivational speaker in the ostomy community-provides advice, tips, and encouragement for caring for and embracing your perfectly imperfect body post ostomy. Ellyn, along with several other ostomates, also shares stories from her own journey that led to her ileostomy in March, 2014. The book contains interviews with several "thrivers" who have survived and thrived through the many health and emotional challenges presented to them.

Spoken with words of kindness, compassion, and support, So Much More than My Ostomy provides encouragement and hope for ostomates and their loved ones, whether new or experienced in the world of ostomy.

About the Author
Mantell, Ellyn: - Ellyn Mantell's desire to help women feel and look their best took her career on a trajectory from a speech pathologist to a fashion trainer for women's ready-to-wear at a major department store chain. From there, she started her own businesses in the fashion, skin care, and events industries before becoming a writer and, eventually, author. However, in 1993 Ellyn met the challenge of her life. A major small bowel obstruction perforated her intestine and she nearly died. It was after her twenty-third abdominal surgery-her ileostomy-that her path changed for the better. Six months after becoming an ostomate, Ellyn ran for and became president of the Union County Ostomy Support Group of New Jersey. In 2019 she was named the Mighty Advocate of the Year by the United Ostomy Associations of America. Ellyn has two beautiful daughters, Allison and Emily, and four grandchildren. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, Bruce. She is passionate about beauty and fashion, her family and myriad of girlfriends, and being with her people.
