This topic is about a 70-year-old man who recently underwent ileostomy surgery. He shares his experience and some helpful advice for others who might be going through something similar.

- The surgery involved removing the remaining 2 feet of his colon, and the surgeon used the previous colostomy stoma site to create the new ileostomy.
- His hospital stay was relatively short, lasting only 3 days, and he was on a liquid diet for just 1 day.
- He is already eating well, enjoying meals like pancakes, yogurt, and an egg for breakfast.
- While still in the hospital, he experienced one pouch leak and advises others to always bring their own ostomy bag.
- He is feeling very good overall and is pleased with how everything turned out.

Many people have offered their congratulations, prayers, and encouragement, wishing him a smooth and speedy recovery.
