I notice that it’s small when I wake up and gradually gets bigger throughout the day. So today I put leggings on to hold it in. Much better so far. You gave me th thought that it can retract with pushing it back as the doctor did so I think this will help hold it in and keep the size smaller. Instead of pushing out all day more and more.

@hheter my doctor also recommended a stomach belt when I’m out and about. Haven’t been out too much yet. But it sounds like a good idea
