Bariatric Stuffed coughing support Bear



Recommended Posts

Anyone else get one of these?

We each got this weird stuffed bear with instructions on how to hold him against our bellies to brace for coughing. He's made to kind of fit against you and provide support.

He's kinda fun....wears a little teeshirt that has illustrations of your procedure on it so you can show people with a visual.

Weird, but kinda sweet. He has no butt. LOL And he's kinda ugly.

Isn’t there some kind of law against calling a Teddy Bear ‘kinda ugly’? 🤣🤣🤣

I think he's cute- when I had my gall bladder out in the bad old days when surgeries were open I had a chicken pillow. Why did I need one, instead of a subcostal which was more or less traditional I had a right paramedian which meant I had an incision to "splint" when I coughed. Boy Chickie was my best buddy for awhile, think he's upstairs in the toy chest, wonder if he wants to go to Columbus on my Bariatric journey?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
