It sounds like my solution wouldn't help in this particular situation, but
what I do when underwire bras become intolerable due to MS-related
spasticity (all my muscles tighten up so that any pressure on them is
painful) is wear a hip-length BSFG (bust supporting fitted gown).
Best support ever, and if made with larger or looser armholes and non-bulky
seam finishes there's just nothing to dig in anywhere. It doesn't need to
be tight below the underbust area, so it might work well with gastric
problems--it wouldn't replace the function of a pair of stays for an 18thC
gown, though!
