Tummy support

What did anyone use to help "keep you together?" I feel much better when I am holding my stomach and abdomen - but not too hard. I feel like everything is going to fall out - and no, I haven't had surgery yet!! A freind told me she wore bike shorts after giving birth to help ith this feeling - I think a girdle may be too tight. anyone have any ideas?
Oh - and I am a bigger girl, so I have a belly - big problem when it hurts to move - the belly keeps moving after the rest of me has stopped!!

Hi AnniecatTC. Have you talked to your DR about an abdominal binder? It is made of elastic and velcro and goes all around your belly to support your muscles after surgery. I had one after my c-sections and they are a godsend. I did get one in the hospital, maybe because I asked about it at my pre-op appointment. I wore it home from the castle and when I know I am going to up and around for a length of time.

Hope this helps,

Diane

Tummy binder is good. After you get through with that there are the support panties. They were great after my surgery holds you in place and helps keep the down. they come in large sizes as I am a big girl too. God Bless.
