Is it worth trying to search physical support aids for acid reflux, back and shoulder problems for anyone this size?

 

Obesity and Acid Reflux

Multiple studies have shown a clear link between obesity and acid reflux. For example, a Scandinavian study conducted in 2003 showed that people who are overweight or obese are six times more likely to experience symptoms of GERD than people who are not overweight. This association was found to be most significant among women who have used any form of hormone therapy, as well as those who are premenopausal, indicating that hormones may play a role.

The rest follow by doubling sizes to fit. 

 

 

 

 

If your DIY obesity wedge-pillow is too narrow, cut a piece of coving to a suitable length

 

 and reinforce it with a thin strip of wood.  When attaching it to the pillow, keep it slack as seen by raising the scisors.  This allows it easier insertion and removal.

 

 Attach it to the wedge or the back pillow.
