Medical Abdominal Binder



Recommended Posts

Are we allowed to wrap our tummy's after surgery? I always used a binder after my pregnancies... it helped everything calm back down, and settle nicely. Not certain if we can after VSG with all the incisions????

Oh yes, just be careful it isn't too tight at first. I highly recommend it. That was the only way I could make it through the day at work for several weeks after surgery. Also really helped getting up and down out of bed.

Same for me. It was a must have thru week 5. My surgeon agreed it was fine to use. Good luck.

I was so swollen and bloated, the last thing I wanted postop was more pressure on my belly. I didn't even wear underwear because the waistband seemed too restrictI've. I lived in sweats and scrubs and Took three weeks before I even wore regular jeans. An abdominal binder would have been torture.

There's no way I could have tolerated wearing a binder postop. I could barely wear a loose fitting bra and underwear. Irritated my little incisions.

I asked at the hospital and they approved one for me to take home.

It helped me through the first 3 or 4 weeks. Then one day i was driving it bothered me and I took it off. I saw it the other day. I remember when it was my best friend lol. Just be sure you get the right size for your body.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
