At my wound check today I try to explain to the nurse my stomach is swollen differently then from surgery and it hurts at the top of my bellybetton. He asks me why aren't I wearing my binder? My what? The stomach binder you received upon discharge to hold your stomach in while it healed. 1st I've heard of it!!

Makes a HUGE difference in support! If you don't have one - go get a pregancy belly band or a back support belt from waltmart. Justake sure if covers the entire stomach area. Mine is just below the bust to just at the hips.

So not only did the neglect to discharge me with any nexium but forgot the binder too! Such is the life...but I'm down 20lbs in 8 days!

I wasn't given a binder, but I've heard they're a lifesaver for some folks. Glad you're getting some relief!

I got two binders first was to small so they had to order another one sent up, sInce they opened it first it couldn't be given to anyone else so they sent it home with me. It fit me after 3 weeks and 35 lbs. I still wear it ocasionly when I do a lot and I am sore

I had to have two put together I was only given them because I asked.
