i HAD SURGERY BECAUSE I GET FISTULAS.  I HAD SURGERY TWO TIMES.  I HAD 27 INCHES REMOVED AND THE RECOEVERY DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL.  I WAS BACK TO WORK THE FIRST TIME WITHIN A MONTH.  THE LAST TIME IT WAS WORSE BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON YOUR AGE AND WHERE AND WHAT THEY DO.  A CLOSTOMY BAG WAS NEVER MENTIONED EACH TIME.  ASK YOUR DOCTOR ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION SINCE WE ALL ALL SO DIFFERENT.  GOOD LUCK, SUZANNE

LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH AND BE HAPPY
