Hi. I am considering having this surgery because of continuing ulcerative colitis in my rectum. I guess my question is for people that have had this surgery. My doctor is telling me I should be fully recovered in two months but I have heard some people took longer than two months. If you don't mind sharing your experiences, I would appreciate knowing if the two months is realistic and what, if any, complications may come from the surgery. Thank you.
