Girdle Or No Girdle?

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on Thursday 4/24 and a friend recommended I wear a girdle! She said it will help my stomach heal better & will help my shape! Anyone else try this? I tried wearing one this morning but I was scared to keep something so tight over my main incision. What do you say?

I say you should ask your surgeon....

I'll see him Mon & will ask him then. Thanks! 

All I know is that after I had surgery, I didn't want ANYTHING touching my belly. I wore some velour leopard print PJ bottoms, no bra, and a t-shirt. Because that's how I roll.

But yeah, ask your surgeon what he recommends.

That's the way I been rolling too! lol. Thanks!

4 months later I'm still rolling that way lol.  Though my husband thinks I could probably change in the 2X flannel pj's for something in my size (medium).  Isn't that why they put drawstrings in them?

That's exactly why! Lol

Ha, I'm the same way! People are getting on my butt at work because my scrubs are hanging off me. So I just look at them and tighten the drawstring LOL.

They just don't understand : )

I wouldn't go anywhere near a girdle!  Not now and not ever!  The last thing you want to be in is something constricting.  You'll have enough problems without it!  Your friend doesn't have a clue what she's talking about!
