How long is the recovery from corrective surgery for low imperforate anus?

My son will be getting corrective surgery for his imperforate anus soon and was wondering how long is the recovery. He was given a colostomy the day after he was born and is now a month and a half old. I’m nervous for the day to come because I know he will be in pain and uncomfortable for some time afterward. Any advice?
The doc said he would be able to go home a few days after and would take about two weeks to heal for the most part, but be sore for a while. I would like to know from others’ experiences.
