Do you think this toilet riser will help instead if the one with the handles? I'm having a tummy tuck in a couple weeks

I am not real familiar with what's needed after a tummy tuck but I'd you need height this definitely has if. The only problem I had is my mother lives with me and she is 5'3" and she had some trouble getting on it.

If you have someone to help you, you won't need the handles. My husband stayed out of the bathroom until I called, then held my hands to pull me up. The first 3 to 5 days you'll be so medicated that you'll need to use your upper body to pull up from a sitting position. If the toilet is not near a counter-top you could grip, or if you will be recovering alone, then I'd definitely use a riser with handles. That being said, the height of this particular riser was fantastic. The less you use your muscles, the more comfortable you'll be.

We had a grab bar installed beside the toilet. We also had a seat with handles and I found that the handles made it difficult to clean self, but without a grab bar the handles could help in getting up. We got it for my husband with a hip replacement. It only took him about a week until he no longer "needed" the grab bar. But the raised height really helped.

Just be aware of the extra five inches this seat adds, if you are short, your legs may not reach the ground...

I love this raised toilet seat. I wouldn't want the ones with handles but you may need to help you.

I don't know. I haven't used it yet. Sorry I can't help. Good luck with your tummy tuck.

I didn't get it because of any surgery....I got it because I have knee problems and I didn't want to have to bend my knees so much. I can't really answer. When I had knee surgery, I had portable with rails to help push up with...never having had tummy tuck, I can't really advise. Hope it goes well.!

I love this seat. If there isn't anything close by to hold on to, then maybe handles would be better. It's high enough for me that not having handles hasn't been a problem. Please be aware that it simply sits on top of the toilet - it is not attached. Must tell you... one day, I flew into the bathroom, hit the seat hard and wrong. The seat went off to the side and I fell on the other side. Had to have hip replacement again. :o( I consider this my fault not the seat's.

My sister needed the elevation because it hurts her to sit to low. I do not know if you need the handles, so check with your doctor.

I took took the legs off mine because it was so unsafe the way it was. I don't know if it would fit above your toilet. I wouldn't recommend this one at all. Please find one that is safer.

Yes, I believe it would. My toilet was an elongated newer shape, but it works fine for me.

Yes I am sure it would fit all styles of toilets. It does move a little but is very supportive

no, have to put the seat up and put riser directly on top of toilet. Works great.

I had to remove my toilet seat. If you don't, the raised seat will be unsteady. There are two small Velcro strips that are suppose to prevent the seat from moving but I find these useless. I replaced those strips with much stronger Velcro strips found in any hardware store.

NO! Definitely NOT!!! I had to buy a new toilet because of this. I had a good Toto. It was taken apart to install the elongated riser. The bolts did not fit the Toto. I will trash the elongated riser without ever using it!~ The manufactures should have stated that it will not fit all toilets! Another waste of my good money!

Yes---My toilet is elongated and the riser fits, although it does not cover the foremost 1 1/2 inches of the rim, it does cover the opening itself and there is no problem.

If you can raise the toilet SEAT it fits. It will not fit onto the seat itself! Hope this helps and God bless you with your recovery!

Home Health pro here: Raised toilet seats work for standard and elongated seats, be sure what you buy specifies "elongated" in the description, otherwise you will get a standard size. Best of luck to you.

I would keep in mind that this rises the toilet seat about 4-5 inches from the regular seat. If he cannot stand this may be rather difficult to stand to seat oneself onto the raised toilet seat. My mother uses this to help her get up off of the toilet and not have to stoop as low as the regular seat. Just my opinion.

Yes, it is a step up with handles. It does not attach to the toilet so you will need a seat minimizer.

We have two of these toilet seats (one upstairs and one on our main level). Unfortunately one pops off frequently and the other gives us no trouble. I don't imagine we use them all that differently, so it's just probably a "luck of the draw" type of thing.

Measure the inner rim. However, with this product, the shape and size of the toilet are not needed. I have used mine on two different shaped (elongated and round) and sized toilets (average size and one slightly larger). This riser still works. Yes, it fit more snug in the smaller toilet; but there was no slipping on the large toilet.

Click on this link, and you can order the one for elongated toilet seats ... http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Hinged-Raised-Toilet-Seat/dp/B00115TIXS/ref=pd_sbs_indust_1?ie=UTF8&refRID;=1VCVGRGJF03FY9QPX2HS .... you will find they fit either the Standard (round) or Elongated, and must order the correct one. This has been a big help, for my hubby, in getting up & down, easier. You need to use the nuts from your current seat, as new ones were not included, but old ones worked perfectly.

There shouldn't be any problem. I weigh about the same. This riser is not like a lot of the on the market. It's made very well,The only drawback and one that doesn't bother me is the lid to the toilet seat doesn't close. The rider is high but you'll be glad you bought it.
