Pre-Sleevers...ask The Surgeon If He Places An Abdominal Binder.

Let me tell you, the thing saved me. It was amazing. Its a wrap they place before u wake up in recovery. Its hugs your incisions and allows you to get up and walk and go to the bathroom without feeling like your insides are falling out. It also helps when u cough. I got the hiccups too and it helped with that...

That's what mine looks like too...it should work.

I woke up from surgery with mine on. I would start by asking the surgeon if they will be putting one on after surgery. Maybe try some medical supply stores would be my guess.

That would be nice so when did u take it off or do you sleep in it as well.

He took it off to check the drain and incisions a couple times. I slept with it on. I wore it yesterday because the soreness was bad but took it off when I felt better!
