I woke from surgery with mine on. I couldn't imagine not having one! As annoying as it is, I am very uncomfortable with it off and can't wait to put it back on!

I was not.... IN fact I just had my Tummy Tuck and breast lift on Tuesday and I don't even have one for that. Interesting how drs differ.

I didn't get a binder and I never even heard of one until on here when people have mentioned it. Though, it would have been nice for the first couple of weeks. I was always worried about my pants rubbing my belly, but all worked out.

I got one following surgery and was sent home with it. I wore it consistently for several weeks. I felt very vulnerable when I stopped wearing it.

I woke up with mine on. My doctor really gave me no instructions about it, but luckily I have worked with surgeons for many years and knew what it was and what it was for.

I had a binder on when I woke up from surgery, and was told I had to wear it pretty much 24/7 for the first three weeks. I saw my surgeon on Monday for my 3 week post- op appointment and he told me that I could now switch to something else. I went out and bought myself a spanx-like garment, which is so much more comfortable.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
