Hi there! So. The all important pillow is one the transplant team will give you, kidney shaped,of course😚. However, we brought a baby pillow, several king size pillows- one very soft and flexible, one firmer, and unfortunately forgot a body pillow. Please allow your caregiver to help arrange these under and around you to relieve some pain while the gas escapes. Some are great for support, some just for comfort, some under your knees, some behind your back if laying flat is uncomfortable. Some under your shoulders, behind your head. You may find nothing is comfortable at first. It’s quite all right to rant!
Also, if available, reclining chair was very helpful.
You are an amazing Lady. You are about to change not only 1 life, but a chain you may never know of! Thank you! Bestcwishes for a speedy recovery🥰
