Having a pillow for ride home from hosp after WLS (or any surgery)

I had my WLS in December and wore several layers of clothing, including a parka home.  I did not understand why people recommended taking a pillow for the ride home, i didn't say anything because I figured it helped some people.

After another surgery in this summer, I know why - OMG the SEATBELT is such a pain.  No matter where I sit or adjust the darn thing, it digs into my sutures. 

I  pillows.

Hope whatever surgery you had--you heal quickly!

Thanks so much for your kind thought. 

Pillow up girl!!

U 2 funny.  (My back seat looks like the pillow section at Pier One Imports)

I used a pillow- for the same reason the nurse recommend to hold a pillow against your abdomen when you cough of sneeze immediately post op. It reduces the 'jiggly belly' effect; which seems to make pain amplify. For me if had nothing to do with the sutures/seatbelt. 

I had no "jiggle belly' effect, no pain except from the %^&^ seat belt - we had 2 different issues - one common solution. 

I  pillows.
