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.

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.
