Where can I find the the abdominal support belt that has been referred to here? What is the name of it?

There was one posted as good that i ordered from motherhood.com. Its just a stretchy tube. I ordered it too big but still tried it the day i came home...thought it might feel good lying down to sleep. It really, for me, was a waste of money. Perhaps a smaller one would have helped and i would have felt more positive about it. It was only $17-18 dollars plus shipping. Also the top edge ran very close to my top incision...just something to thinkabout. I bought way to much for those first few days, which just fly by so make sure to carefully consider how to spend your money. I had too much powdered Protein, too many meds, and many gimicky things like tiny dishes, tiny silverware, tummy supporter, etc. You will blast through those first few weeks so fast you just wont believe it and will settle back into a more normal routine where you really wont need all that.

I will use a good pillow and (this sounds bad), but I have one of those belts for belly weight loss which is pretty much an abdominal binder. I will be taking it off frequently as it doesn't breathe as well as a regular one and will keep it away from the upper incisions.

IMy doc provided my tummy belt, and i have to admit it has been great. The belt provides the support I need to curb the pain on my left side & lower back. I was sleeved 8/12 and have had the belt on everyday since. I'm able to sleep without it. I'm not sure how much longer I should expect to wear it.
