is it wise to wear binder 24 hours after hysterectomy and how loose or tight should it be?
Hello ladies,
just wanted to share something that I found to be a little more comfortable for the tummy binder. Some may have already discovered that rather than connecting the binder in the front where the incision was performed, try connecting the ends on your side, leaving the softer portion of the binder to cover the tummy And incision.
So much better after days of soreness.
I pray this helps someone.
Now a question. .. is it wise to wear binder 24 hours and how loose or tight should it be? Thanks in advance:

Hi, my dr asked me to wear the binder 24/7 for the first two weeks. I just took it off when showering. As to tightness, I'd say snug and supportive but not tight

Everyone's situation is different -- but I know that others have gotten different advice. Generally, your incision needs time open in the air for better healing. This mean not wearing the binder part of the time. Check with your doctor if your weren't given any particular guidance about this area.
