abdominal binder

[TES 858]

I wore mine for at least 4 weeks. My abdominal muscles felt week and it helped me feel protected and made changing positions easier. I also felt like it protected my incisions if I was out shopping or something. I really liked having it.

I woke up in post op with mine on already. Feels nice while indoors. I'm in hot steamy Texas. I'll start back to work on Thursday and plan to wear it for extra support. I don't think it's like a Lipo compression garment you HAVE to wear for so many weeks after. Just your personal preference I guess.

Hi I am 11 months out and I wasn't given a binder but about week 2 or 3 I started wearing compression garments and still do till this day. Makes clothes fit better and hides some of the loose skin around the abdomen.

I buy them at Ross, Marshall's or T.J Maxx..

I asked repeatedly for one in the hospital. Finally i was told they only had them in much bigger sizes than i needed. I didn't know I could buy it on my own. I guess at 3 weeks I should just go for compression garments. How do you buy them? Is it like bra size, pant size or something else?

I'm definitely buying and wearing one, I work in a building material/lumber yard so I know my binder will come in handy for support and a bit of compression. I then researched full bodyshapers, I even bought one with 3/4 sleeves and pants which are Capri length. I think it will help as I lose weight, keep me in place and not just flabby and hanging out all over. Couldn't hurt, right?

So does the hospital give you one?

My hospital did. If they don't, I would ask them for one. I'm in love with mine- I sleep in it and wear it all day!

I woke up from surgery with a binder on and wore it for two weeks.
