Highly recommend corset after surgery

  • Popular Post

Day 1 post op, they just put a corset on me! Wow this thing is great. So much easier to move and cough. Much better than just the pillow. If the hospital dies not offer it to you I highly recommend asking for one!

  • After my band replacement, I went out and bought firm control shapewear, which I wore for 3 weeks after surgery. It made such a difference, because yes it was easier to cough, or even sit up, and more

  • This is a surgical corset that velcros close around you. It covers all my incisions. My incisions seem really high up to me. Not sure I will be able to Pitt a bra on later to go home.

    That reminds me o a line from steal magnolias, "I haven't left the house since I was 14 without Lycra on my thighs". Ha ha I never leave to work without one.

My sister said she would dig up some kind of belly band she had from her pregnancy/post pregnancy and I might try that.
