My mother had a total colostomy last year (rectal cancer), and she's doing great these days! The transition was a little weird for her for a couple of weeks, but nowadays she goes on and on about how thankful she is for the procedure; the bag is nothing compared to the discomfort she was living with for years. She goes swimming, walking, everything now. She's turning 81 this month.
You really will feel better dude, the bag's no big deal. Enjoy the new quality of life!
