Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good pressure cushion after surgery? I am waiting on a date for total proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy and just trying to get organized and take my mind off the upcoming surgery!
Many thanks

I can't be of any help on the cushion, but I can wish you good luck with your surgery and recovery :) The waiting is the hard part, I remember it well even though it's been decades.

The EHOB inflatable waffle cushion is the best! It made life bearable after having my rectum/anus removed. Wishing you the best on upcoming surgery.

Talking about having an ostomy can be uncomfortable for most people. Still, it's something you can't always avoid.

I'll second that, this is the only thing I used after my proctectomy. My surgeon gave me mine after surgery, didn't cost a dime.
