"little pillow" for post-op



Recommended Posts

Strange question here. I am getting the sleeve done in Mexico in 9 days. Several of the FAQ posts mention that it would be good to have a little pillow to provide pressure on your tummy during recovery in the hospital. The doctor I am going to, dr. ponce de leon, is not one of the docs that provides them. Would like to order one from Amazon before I leave, but not sure what size/firmness to get, does anyone have any guidance?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks you guys. I ended up buying a cheap small cushion at Ross Dress for Less. Amazing what they have there, I got an exercise stomach wrap that will be great as a binder, which other people recommended as well. Both for less than $5.00 each!
