Alex, welcome to OCF. Congrats on being a 10 year survivor! Im sorry you have not yet had anyone respond to your post. I dont personally have that type of experience but I still wanted to welcome you and let you know OCF does have some members who use an obturator. I have seen successful stories from members using the obturator. I think misskate has one and has been living a successful life with it. Im sure you will hear from someone soon who has experience with this type of situation.
