Did anyone use an abdominal binder post-op? If so, what brands do you recommend?

I was given one at the hospital after surgery. I am still wearing it 3.5 weeks out. Not sure what the brand is. I like the support it gives, but I think I can stop wearing it soon as my pain is mostly subsided.

I had an abdominal binder and it wasn't comfortable so I bought a Spax like garment from Walmart and it worked great. It was also more comfortable amd much cheaper than the binder I ended up returning. I highly recommend something for support though. It makes a world of difference.

Do you know the name of it by chance, Amy?

Probably. If I'm not mistaking I think I woke up with one on while in recovery. Ask your doctor .

I actually tried 2 different ones. One was Futuro brand. The other, I don't know. I just didn't find either comfortable because of my body shape. That's why I ended up in a generic Spanx type thing.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
