Tor_deTummy 0 Posted May 17, 2021 How long are people wearing the abdominal binders post op? I’m only 2 weeks but it feels like I’ll be depending on this thing forever! I’m a nurse and going back to work with this in a few weeks is not something I want to do lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShoppGirl 5,034 Posted May 17, 2021 I woke up from surgery with one and wore it the next day till I got home but then I took it off. It’s just for your comfort though so wear it as long as you feel you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracyringo 503 Posted May 18, 2021 Love the binder as it helped when I coughed, laughed, and anything else that might have made my stomach move. I wore mine 2-4 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,221 Posted May 18, 2021 I had one when I had plastic surgery, but not when I had my RNY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristieshannon 1,671 Posted May 18, 2021 Like catwoman, I wore one after my Tummy Tuck, but not after my VSG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tor_deTummy 0 Posted May 19, 2021 Wow it’s crazy that I don’t think I can function without mine, I’ve needed it every day post op! It’s amazing how differently people experience this surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STLoser 1,099 Posted May 19, 2021 I never had any kind of binder.< br>I had very little pain from my surgery. Moving around was never a problem. My gallbladder was worse.I did have vomiting for the first few days, but my surgical pain was not bad at all.
