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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
