following my 6 week post op check up my husband removed the 2 raised toilet seats !!!!!!!!! Wow !!!! It felt so low almost like lowering oneself onto a kids potty lol

I am tall and so had been using the maximum height toilet seats and wouldn't have managed without them but now they have gone I miss them so much lol

has anyone else found this ??I know that I don't them anymore as I am doing really well and getting back to normality but I just miss them 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

    Yes I agree.after my 6 weeks of first hip I was the same and really missed them but my husband was desperate to remove them as he had difficulty aiming with a smaller target area and couldn't wait to get them off,

    I missed them at first, I think your body knows just where to lower yourself to. I am sure after a couple of days it will adapt to the new/previous level

    Hi Jay,

    Yes, I missed the seat (literally) at first but then got used to the new level. Keep crutch handy for raising yourself back up.

    Hi Jay

    I missed them too when they finally came off last time and Im not very tall. The worst bit to begin with is getting up again!

    Good to hear you are doing well.

    😀

    Yes, too low...I like the high seat mine also has the rails on each side. I'm keeping mine on always, I have a bad low back and this seat helps a lot with that, and I am over 5 months post op.

      I have the rails too. what an amazing difference than the one my mom has that just tightens in the front with a knob. Handles definately make a difference.

    In a post sometime ago one lady who was loathe

    to give up her toilet raiser was told by her consultant

    to take it with her on the cruise. She was 6 months

    post op.

    Do what is comfortable for you. You have priority in your

    house because you've had an op.
