Hey
I'm going in for J-Pouch excision surgery soon and I was hoping some of you could help with my prep please. I'll be having my pouch removed and a permanent ileostomy put in, so they'll be closing up my back passage (the ol' Barbie Butt I think it's known as 🤣)
I just wanted some feedback from anyone who's had this surgery please as to what type of cushion is best to get to help in my recovery? I've heard people say that sitting can be very uncomfortable for a while afterwards and that cushions can help (like a doughnut cushion, or a sausage shaped cushions etc). But Its hard to find these kind of answers anywhere because it seems quite a rare surgery, and what is written on the internet is almost never written from a patients perspective.
So any advice you guys could give about what to expect, or anything you recommend I buy in advance that might help with day to day life in the weeks after the operation would be appreciated. Or if you have any tips and tricks that aren't very well known... if you found anything in particular (no matter how small) that helped you recover from this surgery please?
Thanks in advance 
FF
