MySkinnyDream 8 Posted December 24, 2012 Was wondering who was given a binder the day of surgery and who got one at the post-op visit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
depressed_bandster 72 Posted December 25, 2012 I woke from surgery with mine on. I couldn't imagine not having one! As annoying as it is, I am very uncomfortable with it off and can't wait to put it back on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted December 25, 2012 I was not.... IN fact I just had my Tummy Tuck and breast lift on Tuesday and I don't even have one for that. Interesting how drs differ. 1 depressed_bandster reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2012 359 Posted December 25, 2012 I didn't get a binder and I never even heard of one until on here when people have mentioned it. Though, it would have been nice for the first couple of weeks. I was always worried about my pants rubbing my belly, but all worked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back2Petite 23 Posted January 4, 2013 I got one following surgery and was sent home with it. I wore it consistently for several weeks. I felt very vulnerable when I stopped wearing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fordgal88 7 Posted January 10, 2013 I woke up with mine on. My doctor really gave me no instructions about it, but luckily I have worked with surgeons for many years and knew what it was and what it was for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qtjan5 17 Posted January 10, 2013 I had a binder on when I woke up from surgery, and was told I had to wear it pretty much 24/7 for the first three weeks. I saw my surgeon on Monday for my 3 week post- op appointment and he told me that I could now switch to something else. I went out and bought myself a spanx-like garment, which is so much more comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
