I was just wondering, those of you with RIG's / PEG's how do you get on with wearing a seat belt ?

Does the strap not effect it or have you applied for a seat belt exemption letter from the doctor ?

My RIG still has some healing to do because of the surgeon, plus it is still a little sore, but i have to drive soon. Although i'd rather not, i'm thinking of asking for an exemption letter.

Hi Cat

I had a PEG for 8 months. Driving with it in was never an issue

Hi. I had no issues with my PEG & seatbelts. I taped the PEG to my body & never had an issue.

Hi Cat, I've a RIG in since 24/02 and I've no problem with seat belts. The lower strap lies on my lower abdomen and the upper strap crosses a bit above it. All the best.

Good evening Cat, if it causes you problems while driving then you can ask your Dr if he/she can write an exemption letter, i have never had any issues with mine and still have it in after 12 years. But i can see your point., take care.

Thank you all,

I only asked as it still not quite healed properly and is a little sore. As you say, in the future, when it's fully healed it won't be a problem.
