Hi there! I had my laparoscopic loop ileostomy surgery on June 23. It was open surgery, so I have a 15-20cm vertical incision.
I'm looking for a hernia belt to help prevent hernias. I've been back to the gym for a few weeks now, lifting light weights with no issues, but the cardio class last weekend with the jumping made my stomach area very uncomfortable to the point I stopped and did step outs.
The belt that the ostomy nurse recommended doesn't have good reviews on Amazon.
Any recommendations??? Thanks!!
