Had mine last Wednesday! Colon removed! Only 2 feet long! Surgeon used colostomy stoma hole for new ileostomy stoma! Only stayed in hospital 3 days! Not bad for a worn-out 70-year-old male! Only one day liquid diet! Had pancake, yogurt, and one egg for breakfast today! Had a leak at the hospital! Always take your own bag! All went well! Have a nice day!

Hi Hermit, that's great news, and to only be in the hospital 3 days is remarkable.
