Hi
I notice that your post hadn’t received a reply, so I’d like to suggest you post in the Bowel Cancer group, where a number of members have had this surgery. You could also join the Stoma Support group where you can chat with members who have experience of having an ileostomy and there is a lot of information and advice.

Best wishes for your upcoming surgery.
