This topic is about finding the right hernia support belt for someone who has had ileostomy surgery and is concerned about developing an abdominal hernia. Here are some helpful recommendations and insights for choosing a support belt:

1. Nu-Hope belts are highly recommended for their quality in providing ostomy and hernia support.
- They offer custom belts, such as those with two openings for people with dual stomas.
- These belts are often covered by insurance, and some people wear them all day and night.

2. Stealth Belt is another popular brand, though their standard models typically have only one stoma opening, which might not be suitable for those with two stomas.

3. Ostomybagholder.com provides belts that many users find comfortable. However, these might require you to pay out-of-pocket if your insurance does not cover them.

4. Affordable, generic hernia belts can be found on AliExpress.
- They are reported to be effective for both parastomal and incisional hernias, though they might feel warm or uncomfortable if worn for extended periods.

5. The choice of belt depends on the location of the hernia:
- Parastomal hernia belts have an opening over the stoma.
- Incisional or abdominal hernia belts, which do not have openings, are worn above the stoma if the hernia is located higher up.

6. It's important to note that many patients are not informed about the risk of hernias after ostomy surgery. Using a supportive belt proactively can help prevent or manage hernias.
