The most important stool in the dental office

Cylinder: The cylinder of the stool is essential and takes into account the height of the user/operator. A standard cylinder for a very tall operator will make them feel compressed, flattening the curvature and placing the pelvis in an uncomfortable position. Like a short operator, if they do not choose the cylinder well, they could sit without being able to rest their feet firmly on the floor, generating altered pelvis positions, affecting the lumbar curve, and generating fatigue and discomfort. Guidance from the stool sales representative is essential to acquiring the right chair.

There is no all-in-one chair for everyone. A conscious choice based on the characteristics discussed here is essential to choosing the most important chair in your office. This is where the dentist spends much of the day, and a well-chosen chair makes a big difference. The benefits for the operator regarding comfort and health are proven and well-documented, and the investment can prolong your professional career and job satisfaction.

Hi,
I had a partial colectomy in October, no issues with recovery. Started out with 4-7 bowel movements a day, by week #4/5 things had settled and I was going once, sometimes twice a day. Normal formed stools. However, I noticed last week that my stools are small, soft pieces and always float, smell horrible and I have an increased amount of gas, especially after eating any meal. I do not have any abdominal pain, minor bloating here and there which I assume is mainly from the gas, no nausea, no change in appetite. I have not changed anything about my diet, if anything, I have increased my water intake, also started drinking electrolyte water and just started going back to the gym (walking the track for 30 min each day).
Really not sure if this is because my bowels are still adjusting or if I am lacking something...any one experience this?
