Just had surgery Friday, anyone else having to wear a stomach belt?

I've never heard of it. Is it a pressure garment?

I've never heard of a stomach belt. What is it and what is it suppose to do?

It's like a girdle .. Not sure why I have to wear it.

I had one when I had a c-section with my daughter, it was actually very nice wouldn't of minded wearing one with the surgery.

I have read older posts where people reccomended having one for after surgery. My clinic never mentioned anything about one though.

I was given one for compression after my plastic surgery, maybe u had a hernia repair ? it is either to prevent swelling or fluid build up or to support the muscles while they heal.

I wouldnt worry about it, it certainly wont do u any harm till u go back to the surgeon and u can ask

It is also called an abdominal binder. I wore one after my surgery for abdominal support. I would not have made it through my recovery without it. They can be purchased at Walmart.

I wore some spanx for about 3 days, just for my own comfort, not b/c I was told to.

I wore it when I started exercising more shortly after surgery mainly for my port which was still sore. It made a huge difference and made exercising much more comfortable.

I'm wearing one that a friend -- who had LB surgery last year -- gave to me. I checked with my surgeon to make sure it was okay and have been wearing it for a few hours a day since the surgery. It really does help.
