@jackie421blfdgurl, How is it going for you? Does the tummy band help you feel any better?
I remember once when I returned to my transplant center for an annual visit, that some of the patients were talking about wearing spandex body shapers to support their abdomens after transplant. I tried one, just because I liked the idea of extra support, but I found it too restricting and uncomfortable for me. I suppose that doing it for vanity is not the same as for a medical support.
What are you able to do with just a 2 lb weight lift limit? Do you have someone to help you to perform the heavier lifting duties?
