Swelly Belly Band ?

Is the Swelly Belly Band the same as a Pelvic Compression Belt from a Physical Therapist?

Hi! I have no idea what the difference is but I had a LAVH on the 17th and wore a high waisted girdle for several days after being discharged from the hospital. It made a huge difference! It supported my stomach and held it in (which actually sounds painful but feels SSOOO much better) and supported my back which was quite achy from lying in bed all the time. Good luck!

No. Swelly Belly Band is a way to just apply cold to the incision site. It is not for compression at all.
