Hi everyone, I'm finally feeling well enough to start driving again, but the seat belt goes right across my stoma. Do I need to worry about that? Should I use a guard or something for protection when driving? Thanks, Lori

At Bilbo...well, my "bear" friend, you have the time to start rehearsing that explanation. I suggest you do.

You could always say he was looking for a lost contact lens. 🧸

Hi I use a seat belt clip which stops the pressure on my stoma if it locks. Take care 🙂

We have a store called House of Sheepskin who makes soft and cozy seatbelt covers. They wrap around the seatbelt and fasten with Velcro. It’s super comfortable! I bought one for my car as well as for travelling by air!
They are relatively inexpensive at a cost of about $15-20 depending on the size.
