UTGal99 327 Posted August 8, 2012 Did anyone use an abdominal binder post-op? If so, what brands do you recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geno5150 168 Posted August 8, 2012 I was given one at the hospital after surgery. I am still wearing it 3.5 weeks out. Not sure what the brand is. I like the support it gives, but I think I can stop wearing it soon as my pain is mostly subsided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Back~To~Amy 307 Posted August 8, 2012 I had an abdominal binder and it wasn't comfortable so I bought a Spax like garment from Walmart and it worked great. It was also more comfortable amd much cheaper than the binder I ended up returning. I highly recommend something for support though. It makes a world of difference.

Mama T 3 Posted August 8, 2012 Probably. If I'm not mistaking I think I woke up with one on while in recovery. Ask your doctor . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back~To~Amy 307 Posted August 9, 2012 Do you know the name of it by chance' date=' Amy?[/quote'] I actually tried 2 different ones. One was Futuro brand. The other, I don't know. I just didn't find either comfortable because of my body shape. That's why I ended up in a generic Spanx type thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
