Tummy Binder?

I am probably asking too late (surgery is tomorrow) but how helpful was a tummy binder if you had a Davinci?

My OB says its not neccessary.

Thanks!

its probably not. but when i went back to work and swelly belly showed up. i bought one to help with the swelling and the little bit of discomfort i was having in my upper incisions after working and being on my feet all day.

I had a TLH and started wearing mine 2 weeks after surgery. I ordered it from the store here and I got the regular binder (no pockets). It was really fast service. I ordered it on a Wed. afternoon and received it Sat. morning. I like it alot and wear it during the day when I'm up and about and moving around. It makes my belly feel more secure and protected. It's got a velcro closing so you can make it as snug as you want to. I wear on top of my underwear. I'm glad I got it.

Best wishes to you for a successful surgery and easy recovery. I'll see you on the Post Op board. Sweet dreams!

No binder needed here! I had a LSH, a minimally invasive procedure like the DaVinci, and was fine without it. A pillow came in handy if I coughed the first couple days.

Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery.

i'm having the davinci also and my dr. says i won't need one. thats just one less thing i have to purchase...
