OMG -- you are going to be SO disappointed in the belt!!!! I do not think they are very pretty -- or in the least bit fashionable! And -- if your luck is anything like mine -- will sit DIRECTLY on your biggest meanest incision! I have filled every pocket of my hoodie I'm wearing with pads!!!! I think I've stashed 6 of em -- just in case!!!!!

HAHAHHAHAAAA!! I was joking around thinking it might be a pretty ribbon or something!?!? Not the case?? is it that rotten crunchy plastic??
good job!! I'm going to have to do the same since I'm not allowed to bring my purse in there!! Maybe shopping for a nice big comfy hoody is in order!!

Well -- when they told me I wasn't to bring anything to the surgery except the clothes I was wearing -- well suddenly the outfit NEEDED to include a hoodie -- since my jammy bottoms don't have pockets!!!!! I can't describe the belt - cus I think I only saw one once! It's kinda like a piece of plastic that you put through the loops of the pad ....but I can't remember how it closed! But -- I shall endeavor to find out! I am NOT in the mood for work this week at all -- HA!!!!!!

Oh. My. Gosh. Those are just...no words. I swear, I have an appt. with an Endo specialist in Orlando on the 17th of May, if he says I need a lap and I get a huge pad with a belt, I'll throw a fit. And Angelas, if I do throw it - it won't be aimed at the wall, good chance it'll be aimed at the DR! I'm excited to see this Dr, though! The name is Ashley Hill, I thought it was a woman, but when I made the appt. this am, turned out to be a guy. EH. Oh well.

I know!!!! That looks waaaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated!!! I shouldn't be laughing so hard -- I am just jinxing myself to wake up after surgery Friday with a monster pad and NO belt -- just shoved into the hairnet panties, & when I can finally get it, it's going to be so giant & heavy that it's going to make the hairnet panties drop to the floor & I'll end up mooning everyone in the recovery room!

AHAHHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing!!!! they'll just shove it between my legs and I'll hear that crinkley thud that I am having nightmares about!!! Think about it though!! if you threw that and hit someone, those belt buckles could take out an eye!!!!!! AHHAHAHAHHAA!! I can't help it... did you see the dates on those things!!?? I really don't think they've changed AT ALL!!! The only difference is that the ones that I saw had the actual pad part go up to your belly button on the front and the back!! like a sumo wrestler!

I know -- and completely UNcreative to not change their design since the 1940's!!!! That's why, I swear, they must still use them because they have some giant surplus from WWII!!!!
I don't know about you -- but I think I would hafta cut the belt off -- all those little snaps, etc. look waaaaay too confusing!!!!
See what I mean -- if you get the sumo type -- then you could take a nice long lenght of ribbon & ask them to use THAT for your belt! OMG -- their expressions would be HILARIOUS!!!! DO IT!!!!

This reminds me of visiting my mother in the hospital after she had my twin brothers! She really looked like a sumo wrestler! Short, fat (baby weight), and with a sumo diaper/pad/belt! LOL!!!!!!!!
