Is there anyone who can tell me about ileostomy? I have colonoscopy (stoma from my large intestine). Now the surgeon is taking out the rest of my large intestine and portions of the small intestine. He said that the stoma will be on the other side of my body and higher up. Do you know if this surgery will be painful and what is the recovery time? I am having the surgery done in Rochester, MN at Mayo. I am very nervous for Monday. Could you please inform me on this information? Thank you!
