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.

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.
I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.
I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.

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.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

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.
