I was wondering if anyone used a binder post op and how it worked out for them.

I had one that they put on me before I woke up from surgery. It helped tremendously the first week. I took it off around a week or so post op. It just provided extra support to my weak/sore ab muscles that were cut and stitched. Helped me lay on my side and sleep without discomfort as well. I highly recommend it.

Ok good. I bought myself a good one from a medical supply store and was hoping it worked. I have to go back to work a week after surgery and figured it might help. Thanks again!

I am two weeks post op... Don't wear mine much anymore but, it is nearby and I think I overdid it today and will put it back on

I found it very helpful and pain relieving. I am at 3.5 weeks and am still wearing it when I work. (On my feet a lot during the day) It definitely provides support and makes the abdomen feel more "protected" and "held together" I purposely wear it quite tight. In the first 2 weeks I wore it around the clock! Only took it off to shower.

YES for sure. They gave me one in the hospital and put me in it that first day.

Made all the difference. I used it for about a week. Tapered off to just using it to sleep with the last few days.

I had one. I wore it for the first 2 weeks and it helped so much with keeping the pain minimal. I would highly suggest it.

Thanks everyone!

Using the binder will also help contour your stomach as u lose weight jst like a girdle

I have one from my last csection so I am packing mine. surgery in the morning!!!

I wore mine for about two weeks. I felt like my abdomen was going to split open so felt like I needed it. It did provide some support.

Good luck!

Sassy, thanks to your original post, and replies you received, I have been wearing my binder 24 hours again. Two weeks post and I must have done something wrong as have been hurting and back to pain meds. The binder really helps.

Hope you feel better. Take it easy.

The band keeps rolling up on me. :-( My body is funny shaped I have narrow waist but really big hips. I started wear girdle panties to hold me together. I actually think they hold me better. Any advise for me.
