I was sleeved on July 8th, and prior to surgery I read a recommendation to buy an abdominal binder. I put it on tonight after my first shower, and the comfort of the abdominal binder is awesome.

I would highly recommend one, it makes you feel comfortable, and like your tummy area and insides aren't all over the place.

Agreed!!!!

Where did you get yours? I looked for one after my gallbladder removal and couldn't find one big enough.

Definitely agree, wish I had done that. Especially the ride home from the hospital, ugh!

@@WitchySar I got one at Baby's R Us...........You can also ask the hospital for one. They most often provide them for woman after a C-section.....I first borrowed one from my daughter who got her's after her C-section....it got too big so I bought another one.

I bought mine on Amazon.

I request one for after surgery my dr said they will provide one for me.

I bought mine on amazon. They had a plus size one, and it adjusts with your size.

I looked up medical supply near me and went and got one, it was about 25.00

Good idea!...I will definitely look into getting one. I recall having my very first abdominal surgery many years ago, and wished that I had thought/known about this...I used a cough pillow that my nurse made for me, but it wasn't too effective...This sounds like it would be.
