How difficult is it to recover from removal of the colostomy bag?

My husband had colon surgery to remove a large polyp in his lower colon; difficult surgery. Then emergency surgury two weeks later as he wasn’t healed and his bowels were leaking inside. Then he got his colostomy bag which was 6 months ago. He lost 32 pounds the first time being in the hospital three weeks. It was rough. I just don’t want him to go through so much again yet he wants it off. His doctor said it will be easier but I worry..thanks.
