Pros/cons of wearing abdominal support garments?
One week post op from full laproscopic hysterectomy - belly still big. Should I be wearing things that provide support, or not putting pressure on it by wearing loose fitting clothes? And if support is the way to go - just snug but comfy yoga pants or special products designed for it? Thanks.

Re: Pros/cons of wearing abdominal support garments?
There are women that swear by them. I personally didn't buy anything special and did fine. But then....I also wear Vic Sec bikini briefs on a regular basis for a little tummy support (I've always been a fluffy girl). I found they did okay for me.

Re: Pros/cons of wearing abdominal support garments?
Hi Mlwchasi,
Just go home today, had a dVh yesterday.
I put on the abdominal binder I ordered a while ago after my first shower and I feel it helps me... Not sure about what a doc would say as I didn't ask mine.
I saw another thread about this and it seems to be a personal preference.
I personally feel it holds everything in place!
Good luck

Hello,
I found that support "grannies panties" we're wonderful. I constantly felt like I had to hold mu tummy when I stood and the panties helped.

Re: Pros/cons of wearing abdominal support garments?
From what I have read here it really does seem like a personal preference. I love my binder so much, but it does get on my nerves some. Its a catch 22 sometimes. I want the snugness sl I feel like everything is in place...but at the same time I dont want anything at all to touch me.

While I didn't buy a binder I did buy some panties with a control panel in a large size. They help with the swelling and hold me in place.
