5 out of 5 starsMy Nephew Oliver was born with Hirschsprung’s disease. He is currently in the NICU after getting an Ileostomy. I was looking for a teddy bear with a colostomy and when I saw the name of this bear and book I knew it was meant to be. My sister was so happy when she opened up Oliver’s gift. We now refer to him as “Awesome Ollie”.

5 out of 5 starsI bought this for my adult daughter who will have surgery this week. She absolutely loved it. We even read the book together and enjoyed the story line and the neat way it was written. She said she will definitely take it with her to the hospital. This is a very thoughtful product that can be given as a gift to anyone of any age.

5 out of 5 starsBought this for my husband who just had emergency surgery with an ostomy placed, preparing to undergo chemo for colon cancer at only 49. My thought was to give him something fun that becomes somewhat of a comfort to him knowing it’s from his family. He loves it more than I expected he would! He loved the red button as a stoma and remarked right away how soft it is. He’s napping now while snuggled up with it. ❤️ Thank you so much! Would HIGHLY recommend!!

5 out of 5 starsPurchased as a gift for a dear friend who was going through the procedure. She has had a really rough time, and the bear has brought her great comfort. Her mom told me the quality was amazing and it’s incredibly soft.
About AwesomeOstomy
October 2016, I gifted 8 teddy bears with red button stomas and velcro pouches to the WOCN's at my local children's hospital. They promised to give the bears to their pediatric Ostomy Patients. 24 months later, 5,000 bears had been gifted through 16 children's hospitals in the United States. Nurses across the country requested a book to go with the ostomy bears. A book to explain ostomy surgery and recovery to children. Pediatric WOCN's and Child Life Specialists consulted on the creation of the rhyming Awesome Ollie Book. The book is also available on Kindle through Amazon.
I underwent my own permanent ostomy surgery in December of 2015. This surgery gave me my life back! I swim, surf, travel, run, hike, bike and ride rollercoasters. I serve as President for one of the largest Ostomy Support groups in the United States, teach Ostomy 101 patient lifestyle classes at the University of California Medical Center and make ostomy teddy bears.
