Abdominal Support

Hi,

My surgery is set for next Wednesday!!! I was wondering if anyone wore any type of abdominal support post- surgery or if there's anything I can wear under work garments when I return to work? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I bought one in Amazon. I was done as an out patient so I didn't get one as part of my surgery. The one I got was One of the ones they say is good for post c-sections. It wasn't expensive and it arrived in just a Few days. Huge difference in my ability to get through a day at work. I went back to work after a week and with the binder could make it all day without an issue. I forgot one day and I was in pretty good pain by the end of the day. No one could tell I had it on under my clothes.
