I want to come back and read KG's post and write more to you later, but i have to run. I just wanted to say that learning guitar was a goal of mine too and so I can wholeheartedly recommend...YOUTUBE. FREE guitar lessons, on your own time, without leaving the house. Also I have a meetup in your area that I started in order to help me learn how to play, and some of the people closer to your neck of the woods are started to volunteer to host, so when you have three or four chords learned check it out. We've had almost complete beginners come and have fun.
It might be hard to play around your belly right now, but keep it in mind for the future. It won't cost you a dime.
Love and hugs, have a good day.
