Hey Everyone, It's been quite awhile since I started this Thread, and since Ive posted on it. I haven't been active on this site anymore, I had to delete the app to make room for some updates, haha.

Here are some before and After pics of me.
              

Ok, so I found the link to the one I ordered from Amazon. I liked that it was long and held in as much as possible.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GPZF96/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=153676477165&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9509689672747558083&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032489&hvtargid=kwd-48468491719&ref=pd_sl_311r6hwi5m_e

Yes, I used an abdominal binder after surgery. I had ordered one on Amazon. It was an absolute lifesaver. I am so glad I ordered one, since my hospital didn't provide one to me. I had a few sneezing fits in the weeks after surgery and the binder helped them not to hurt so badly. I wore mine all day and night no matter what, only taken off to shower, and my hubby would throw it in the wash on quick cycle so I could get it back on. I work a thin wifebeater tank top under it so that I didn't have to wash it everyday, and so that it wouldn't rub my incisions. I would highly recommend ordering one, just read the reviews before you purchase, some aren't that good of quality. I forgot which one I got specifically, I just know that I typed in abdominal binder in when I searched Amazon. I ended up getting a firm support one.
Hope I could help! Good Luck and safe Surgery!

Yes, the recovery has been awesome. Apart from the initial healing process. I felt totally back to normal about 6-8 weeks after surgery. And thank you!! I feel so much better! I edited the post to add some extra before pictures I found after I posted the original. I am so proud of how far I've come. I wish all of you the best and a smooth surgery and recovery! Remember to buy an abdominal binder before surgery though, that helped me soooo much during the healing process.
