So my stomach binder came in today and oh my God it was just what I needed! Everything feels held together nicely and I don’t have the granny walk when I wear it. Best $35 I’ve ever spent

Now i gotta add another purchase to my list! Lol

Any recommendations on what brand / type to get?

I just took it off because I needed a break but it definitely helped me move around better and with less pain

I just got a simple one off of Amazon. I got it in 2x because of the measurements but I would’ve had a little more wiggle room with a 3x

Thx!

I'm officially a member of this board. Surgery this morning. Tummy pretty sore, of course. I get sick when they give me morphine. Other than that a good end to the day. I did walk around the hospital floor 5 times. Suppose to help with nasty gas. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be feeling better. Thanks for the encouragement on this board.

Congrats and welcome to the post op side! The walking and gas x (if they will give it to you) will definitely help! The soreness definitely gets better over time. I still feel it 5 days post op but not as intensely! Here’s to a speedy recovery!!!
