Belly Binder...needed or naw

[FabulousFun87 22]

Any of you buy one of these for after surgery, did you need it? If so how did it help?

Questioning if it’s really needed or not.

[KimTriesRNY 1,853]

Not needed.

I would wait and see how you feel.

[Bryn910 519]

I didn’t need one

[Orchids&Dragons 9,047]

I thought it was great.

I think it depends on the person and amount of weight pulling on the incision sites.

I didn't buy one.

I didn't need one, though there were a couple days (ONLY a couple) that I wished I had, but I managed without. Wouldn't have wanted to spend the $$$ on something I'd only use a couple times unless I felt I REALLY needed it.

My hospital gives you one. They gave me one after hernia surgery as well. I thought it helped.

I bought one, tried it on and then returned it. I’ve always hated being squeezed. Can’t even wear Spanx without feeling sick. I feel like a slug in a straw being squeezed in clothing. Not sure what it is but when I’m squeezed I get queasy and back pains and I feel like trapped gas. Always been that way no matter what size I am. Just used a pillow when I needed to cough.

Going to be a case by case basis. You've got personal opinion and various different body sizes/shapes etc. I didn't need one, but I **LOVE** my compression gear for working out, ESP when I decide to do a little running, having everything held tight kills most of the jiggles and makes me fantastic.

Good Luck!

My hospital gave me one. I liked it for the first week or so to give extra support when I was moving around but I mostly took it off to sleep. I had wide hips compared to my waist so it didn't fit me very well and would often roll up which drove me nuts. I probably would have worn it longer if I didn't have that problem.

Matt Z you were right both times. You are fantastic as well as feeling that way!🌸🌺😛🌺🌸

Never used it, never needed it.
