10 months to a year. My surgery and time in the hospital was particularly intense. And I decided against doing a reversal of my ileostomy.

My reversal was done at 7 months. I'm 99.9% recovered after a little over 4 weeks after the surgery.

Ileostomy here- 3+ years and no reversal yet by my choice…originally the surgeon said several weeks, I was on vacation and had to see new surgeon when I returned home - new surgeon said 6 months. jb
