Stomach binder

If you had one, how long did you wear your stomach binder? It feels like a security blanket and I like having it on but I'm afraid I'll have a hard time hiding it at work. The end of last week, I just wore a fleece coat all day (I'm super cold anyway, so it worked out), but u can't wear my coat EVERY day...

@@Quest4TheNewMe I wore mine about 5 days.

LOL! I'm on day #11 and still wearing it full time. :)

I took mine off when I came home, as it was stained and needed to be washed. I never actually put it back on.

I have worn one for a couple years off and on for a hernia issue. I'm so used to it that it feels weird without it. I call it my mirdle, (man girdle). I'm having surgery again in a few months to fix the hernia, so it looks like I'll be giving it up soon!

I wore mine for 9 days. I liked it but I took it off for a shower and never put it back on. Still hanging on to it though.

I never had one. Actually I never heard of having one either.

If you're talking about what I think you are, I got the same thing when I had my c-section three years ago. I wore mine off and on for about a year. (I did body wraps and used it to hold them on) I had to wear baggy shirts though.

I've had two c-sections and never got one for those, but yes, I think it's the same thing.

I didn't wear one immediately post op but I'm a RN and went back to work 10 days post op. It saved me while working! I only wore it at work for about 2 weeks after going back.

2 weeks

I had a very generous nurse. She just started bring stuff to my room so I thought everybody got it lol

Shoot....

I didn't get one for my C-Section either. Now I'm feeling deprived!!
