I understand--its scary when you don't recover well from surgeries. Been there--done that--don't want the tshirt. Do you trust your Doctor? That is what it comes down to--if not, go for another opinion. It does sound like your only solution from you description of the problem but you are the one that will live with the results.
I have an ileu and a colostomy from a bad hernia surgery. The ileu is different--mine is hyperactive and I dump 20 to 25 times a day. You may not--a lot of my intestine was removed due to the damage. You need a good ostomy nurse to help you find the combination that will work for you--take this oportunity to find one. One really good thing you have done is to find this site--lots of good information floating around and the ability to ask questions. There are other sites and I recommend you join them also. What I have learned from these sites has made my life much easier. Don't assume this information is easy to come by in the ordinary medical community--we are a real minority.
God bless--I'll add you to my prayers. You are not alone.
