Christinamo7 4,042 Posted September 26, 2016 ask before you get one. I was given one in the hospital as a part of the whole thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbonet 336 Posted September 26, 2016 My doctors are against them stating they restrict blood flow. Suggested using a pillow for pressure. Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browneyedgirl41 176 Posted September 26, 2016 I got mine from Amazon. I took it to the surgery center with me (my procedure was out patient) and had the nurses put it on me when I woke up. They knew exactly what it was and seemed to approve. I thought it really helped when up and walking around. It kept me from jiggling and hurting as much. I wore it a lot for the first two weeks, but I would take breaks. I loved having one. I slept in it most nights too. I found it soothing. I'm almost 3 weeks out and I put it away a week ago.

tenseintexas 182 Posted September 26, 2016 I was given one at dr office and I never used it- I had one similar after c section and really felt I needed it then- but not after this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubia72 200 Posted September 30, 2016 I was never given one but wouldn't that hurt your stitches? I'm 6 months out and sometimes my seatbelt hurts me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
