Hello @cici80 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I see that several members have already shared encouraging thoughts based on their experiences. I would also like to direct you to a Connect support group for members who have had ostomies. Here is a link to that group,

Has your surgeon indicated how long you will be hospitalized after the surgery?

@hopeful33250 my surgeon said it would be 3 to 5 days in the hospital. Yes, very encouraging group.
