Abdominal Support

[Gaelsmom 100]

Hi,

My surgery is set for next Wednesday!!! I was wondering if anyone wore any type of abdominal support post- surgery or if there's anything I can wear under work garments when I return to work? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I was put in an abdominal binder immediately after surgery. Some surgeons don't use them, but I'm sure the hospital will give you one if you ask for it.

My hospital provided the abdominal support. I wore it 24/7 for the month post-op, I was kinda OCD about not disturbing my stitches. :-)

I bought one in Amazon. I was done as an out patient so I didn't get one as part of my surgery. The one I got was One of the ones they say is good for post c-sections. It wasn't expensive and it arrived in just a Few days. Huge difference in my ability to get through a day at work. I went back to work after a week and with the binder could make it all day without an issue. I forgot one day and I was in pretty good pain by the end of the day. No one could tell I had it on under my clothes.
