I thought I add on by sharing a little about myself.

Will be 36 later this year. I am Charlene. I have both an ileo and
a uro. My rectum has been removed so the ileo is permanent. Usually
I think all ileo are permanent regardless of the rectum had been
remove or not. However a colo can be temporary or permanent pending
on whether the rectum has been remove or not. Sometime a temp colo
so the reconnection between the remaining good large intestine and
rectum could heal. An ileo is usually on the lower right abdomen and
a colo is on the left. In my case, I had my ileo first so it is
already on my right so two years later when I needed a uro, they had
to put it on my left side.

small intestens then it is an Illieostomy?  Correct?  I know that my
buttock is closed and my "Colostomy"is on my Left Side.  I think that
is what they call an Ostomy?  Yes????  You also said your surgery was
