I also enjoy this site, and getting nervous for 8/16 surgery date. Esp when I read about the gas pain.

Anyone going in to surgery, really think about taking a small pillow with you to hold against your stomach when you get up. I had this: Amazon.com: Homedics OT-TRVL Ortho + Therapy Memory Foam Travel Pillow with Carry Case, 15" x 11" x 4.5": Health &…

and it was very helpful and continues to be (I was banded on the 27th)

Thanks Tracy, I just ordered one.

It looks really good and I like that it has a carrying case.

My hospital gave me a pillow before I had the surgery. I also got one at a different hospital when I had surgery on my abdomen. I would just inquire within the hospital instead of having to pay for it yourself. Seems like a fair trade, $16,000 for 1 pillow.

Good for you!! No sarcasm, really.

I'm in NY the only thing I will get free will be the bill

Sad but true!!

This will be my travel pillow.

If I by some small chance I get one at the hospital that will be my hubby's travel pillow.
