Compression Band

I want to get a compression band before my surgery. Does anyone have recommendations of brands or places to buy them?

    If you are talking about the compress garments specifically for your stomach, I believe the best source with the most options is Amazon.

    My hospital gave me one right after surgery. I never liked it and preferred to just hold my stomach when I walked. I'm only 5'3" and it never fit me correctly and would roll up and down.

    I asked my surgeon about getting one and he told me absolutely not. They can cause more harm than good for most patients.
