Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Genita, I slept on my back with a pillow on my chest. During the day I would do this in recliner, and it seemed to help with pain and sleeping. lisamathis > Hello All! I had my surgery December 7 @ 8am. Everything went ok.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 If you had open RNY you should try and get a binder. It will help hold things in place. One surgeon will not let you leave the hospital without it. Moving may be a problem so make sure to use a pillow for any movement and think of renting a recliner with a lift. It may cost for a month but you will really be healthier/safer. skmo > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Lorraine, I had to have my husband help me up and down out of be for the first whiles. There are also techniques to help push yourself up. You roll onto your side, and then put one elbow down onto the bed. Make a fist with that hand. Put your other hand on the first and push with all your might to help yourself get up. In this way you're using more muscles in your arms, than in your tummy. -mamabear _________________________________________________________________ All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.
