Abdominal Binder - HIGHLY Recommend



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on July 8th, and prior to surgery I read a recommendation to buy an abdominal binder. I put it on tonight after my first shower, and the comfort of the abdominal binder is awesome.

I would highly recommend one, it makes you feel comfortable, and like your tummy area and insides aren't all over the place.

Where did you get yours? I looked for one after my gallbladder removal and couldn't find one big enough.

@@WitchySar I got one at Baby's R Us...........You can also ask the hospital for one. They most often provide them for woman after a C-section.....I first borrowed one from my daughter who got her's after her C-section....it got too big so I bought another one.

I bought mine on Amazon. They had a plus size one, and it adjusts with your size.

Good idea!...I will definitely look into getting one. I recall having my very first abdominal surgery many years ago, and wished that I had thought/known about this...I used a cough pillow that my nurse made for me, but it wasn't too effective...This sounds like it would be.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
