I'm five days also. I wear it most of the day but my stomach does need a break from it after having it on so long. It does help with internal swelling. My problem now is its stretching out and harder to get on tight enough.

No I sleep in mine. It just feels better to me to be snug.

That is awesome. I'm glad he let out the real reason...men can be so difficult. Happy for the both of you!

I was wondering about a binder if its something they put on you at hospital or something you go get yourself or do you ask them at hospital for one

What's a binder?

Its like a girdle that holds in your stomach

I came out of surgery with mine on.

Hospital should provide you with one.
