I've had it done twice - well three times actually - first time was 30 years ago. Took that long for scar tissue to close off the bowl. Emergency surgery to fix that in early July & then the next day another to fix more Crohne's he found while in there the day before. 10 days in hospital. Almost back to 100% and feel great. Best of luck with your surgery - nothing to it - go to sleep & wake up hurting like hell.
