I'm one week post op, but wanted to post back here to say that I don't know how I would have gotten through this week without an abdominal binder. It's like a thick belt or corset with velcro (you can get them at CVS or Rite-Aid, or may need to special order for larger sizes). It sort of holds everything in, and makes it so much easier to sleep, and walk, and basically do everything!

This was not something that my surgeon even mentioned -- it was only because a friend, who had Lap-Band surgery last year, brought one over before my surgery that I even knew it existed.

Just a tip I thought I'd share from the other side! Check them out!

Very good advice!

I didn't have one after my surgery, in fact, I had never even heard of one until I saw it here on another thread. However, they did give me one after my recent surgery (not band related) and I agree, they are outstanding. They really do help keep things and reduce abdominal pain a lot.

Ask your doctor if he can give you one before you buy one online! I got mine from the hospital. Thanks to Bee for telling me to get one. <3

I agree! After much searching the HUB found my binder from my c-section two years ago. So glad I saved it! Made walking and standing much more comfortable! Just make sure to take it off when u can- ur incisions need to breathe to avoid infection

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
