supported garment or something to hold my abdomen?

[latido 177]

3 days post-op, and spending all my waking hours pushing on my abdominal wall with a pillow so that I don't feel the wobbling. It feels so painful, and I can feel stuff shifting around inside behind the abdominal wall with every move and breath. I am thinking of wearing a supportive garment or something, like an ace bandage. Any ideas?

Being heavier, I've always worn a spandex tank top under whatever it is that I'm wearing for the day. I found this to also help me feel supported after the surgery. I think the only thing you want to be aware of is making sure it doesn't agitate your stitches. I started wearing mine 1 week post op!

Hi please check with your doctor I know that I was given an abdominal band at the hospital and my surgeon took it away he said I didn't need it and wanted me to begin strengthen my stomach and not put pressure on my incision sights . Good luck .
