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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
