Abdominal Binders

[msjovanna 9]

Has anyone used one? It's on my post op paperwork but no one in the hospital mentioned that I should use it.

Hi,

Trust me i am not sure why they didnt mention it but it helped me during my first month of post op. I was in so much pain everytime i moved and its hard to sleep especially if you are a side sleeper. I say invest in one just to eliminate the pain where the surgeon removes stomach.

Best regards

Where can you buy an abdominal binder? Is one better than another brand? Can I use spanxs as a substitute?

I am very curious about this as well. I am one day out and I could see how a rap would be nice. I've had a pillow that I've kept on my stomach to help relieve the pain but can't walk around with a pillow lol.

Got mine from motherhood.com. About 18.00. Dont order it too big though.

Thank you how much did it cost?

I got mine from Walgreens. I just put it on and I feel soooo much better. My back feels like its being supported. I was nervous at first so I waited until I left my primary care doctors office. She highly recommends it. I'm a week post op! My boyfriend purchased it for me but I'm sure it didn't cost more than $10-$15.
