It's an abdominal binder, it's used to support your abdominal wall so you don't get any painful pulling as your incisions heal. Mine was optional, and I hated it so I took it off as soon as I got home.

You won't heal any better/worse whether you wear it or not, so it's your choice as to whether you continue to use it.

It helps if you experience a stretching/pulling on your abdominal wall. It can also help against developing a hernia.

I'm 20 days out and if I don't wear it I'm in pain. I feel the pulling and stretching on my left side. I thought maybe there was something else wrong with me.

Is that what the awful burn is left of my belly button. If I turn wrong or strain it feels like fire
