Try a pillow between you and the belt.

Thanks

I hadn't thought about this… I have a 1.5 hour drive home… maybe I'll sit in the back of the van and just lay down…..

Oh I only had 15-20 mins of riding. Good luck! But yes a pillow will help. I just couldn't put the seatbelt around me without it pressin an locking up.

I was very lucky, brought a pillow with but didn't need it at all. Had no pain and slept the 1 and 1/2 hr ride home.

Also I timed my pain meds so they kicked in before I got in the car.

Funny enough but my nut said to use flintstones complete chewable twice a day.

Mines said not to use children's vitamins...so different.

Question: Traveling home. how did you use a seat belt. My stomach is sore?

I used a pillow and thankfully I did, because once I got in my communit, there are millions of speed bumps, lol

My doctor said they are most likely gas pains and to walk to help alleviate the pain. Also I'm supposed to take milk of mag tomorrow to help get things moving.

They said walking would help but it's almost to painful to walk. When I stand up I feel like my stomach is falling off And I have to hold it. I sure hope it goes away soon. It is very uncomfortable.

I had/have the same thing in my right side. It got so bad that I ended up in the ER... Turns out, I have gigantic bruises all over my abdominal muscles inside. Hurts sooooo badly!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
