Seatbelts????

Hi looking for some advise on the wearing of seat belts after the op. I am having my op in Highgate and staying in a hotel nearby overnight, but then coming home the day after. I live in South Wales so looking at around a 3 hour drive home, do you have to wear a seat belt? My partner will be driving…….very carefully hopefully lol. But worried over wearing a seat belt,incase he brakes suddenly. Would you recommend not wearing one at all or trying to just get it around the waist?

Sounds like a really stupid question I know, but any advise would be great thanks ladies xx

i took a small pillow/cushion and put it between me and belt hun xx

Brill thanks hun xx

i was wondering this too, kirst when is your op? im in on thurs and im from south wales too xx

Hiya, yes u have to wear a seatbelt. U need an actually medical certificate, ie for obesity etc to be exempt from seatbelt wearing hun.

It actually wasnt that uncomfortable xx

eh so if your that fat that the seat belt aint big enuf u dnt have to wear it??! lol what if you crash do they just presume all the fat would cushion the blow lol? x

Well if u cant get it eound u yes. Lol.

U do need a medical exemption certificaite though. U cant just sit and say to the polie, im too fat.

Bottom line is. Its the law wear ya seatbelt, or risk not wearing it and pay a £30 fine or end up in court dependant on how police deal with it, and because uve had a boob job aint a let off unfortunately xx

Defo go with a soft pillow hun, I had my op on Wednesday and used a pillow, i was really worried about it but it was actually fine, couldn’t feel it at all. I’m now 6 days PO and left the pillow at home today for the first time. Xx

i wondered this too!! I’ll be taking a pillow to stick in front of me too!! I’ll have the husband and kids picking me up 😆

I used a V shaped pillow over my chest and put seatbelt over it. I travelled home the next morning. No pain or discomfort at all. Xx

I am booked in for the 18th October hun x

awww wicked im booked in for next tue at highgate, sooo lookin forward to havin boooobs lol x
