How long did you wear that girdle waist thingy after surgery?

I'm not even sure why they put it on us but I was thinking it was a little bit of a security blanket. I love the support feeling.

Not at all since my surgeon doesn't use them. I had sleeve and hiatal hernia repair at the same time, too.

I wish I'd had one!

I haven't had surgery yet but wore them after my c-sections. I wore them for a LONG time. Like...months. lol. I really believe it helped shape my belly a little better. Plus it made coughing, sneezing and sitting upright less painful.

I only wore it a couple of days after getting released.

I wore mine until the internal stitch popped. Made a world of difference on how I felt at the end of the day!

How tight did you wear it? It feels nice snug and tight. I don't want to cut off blood flow though haha.

I didn't even have one of these. The hospital sent me home with a tiny pillow that I pressed against my tummy when coughing or sneezing but that was it.

Never had one

I wore mine tight enough to feel secure. But not like a waist cincher or a corset. Basically just tight enough to hold me comfortably in place.

I meant GIRDLE . Not sure how to change the heading.

I'm not even sure why they put it on us but I was thinking it was a little bit of a security blanket.

i had an umbilical hernia repair at the same time and had to wear it for 1 month. I also wore it snug. If you don't have a hernia repair they don't make you wear it. I was so glad at my 1 month appt when they said i didn't need it any longer.

I never had one... But wish I did!

I am addicted to this girdle! I wish they gave me two because I didn't really like it when I had to put mine in the wash. I didn't want to dry it because I thought it would kind a ruin it but I had to because I wanted to get it back faster.
