Because of the pulled muscle on the left side of my tummy, I cannot walk around without holding up my stomach. I was thinking it might help to try one of those compression belt things (not really tight, more supportive) so I can actually try to walk around. Being only 5 days post op, it seems scary. Has anyone tried this before?

I ordered one off amazon and it should be here soon. I want it for sitting at my desk due to that pulled muscle. I know some people have surgeons that send them home with one.

I was sent home with one. They are awesome!!

Can you give me the name brand or some specifics so I know what is best to look for? I know I need to get that, the side muscle hurts soooooo much!

You guys are lucky I bought a belt right after surgery put it on thinking I would be able to walk upright and in less pain! It was so bad I had to take it off in 5 minutes......OMG it hurt so bad......

I got mine from the hospital a few hours after my surgery. I couldn't walk with out holding my belly so they gave it to me and it's the greatest thing ever!!!
