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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
