    Oh yeah...someone suggested a sun dress so when you go home there is nothing tight around your waste.

What kind of binder do you use? Where did you get it? Did you wear at hospital or just at home? Thanks!!!

Same questions for me. I have surgery one week from today.

The nurses at the hospital gave it to me as I was leaving the hospital. It wraps around my abdomen and secures with Velcro. It goes from just under my belly button to the band on my bra. I am sure you could ind one at a pharmacy or medical supply store. I think they might be around $30? It really helped while sleeping and getting up from lying down or form a seated position.

Hit send too quickly, sorry for the typos. All my best to you on our journey!
