I was in the hospital after a colectomy, jpouch formation and loop ileostomy for 7 days.

I would assume for a loop only and all goes well at least several days.

i did not get an ileus after all that and was eating solid food within 48 hours.

surgical outcomes vary, so who knows, but here’s hoping for the best.

I was diverted to an end ileostomy by laproscopic surgery, and was out of the hospital 3 days later.  (I was able to have an end ileostomy since I was having the pouch removed a year later).  I developed an ileus afterwards, but I don't know if ileus is "likely" or not after diversion.  No problems with the ileostomy after the ileus cleared up.

Thanks, folks. I just realised I had asked this same question a year ago. Still can’t bite the bullet to go ahead with it. Seeing surgeon in March for second opinion.
