    Thanks Dennis for the info. I will definitely take your advice into practice. You being an RN in this field gives me great insight. I'm online now looking for the binders. Again, thanks.

    My surgery is tomorrow and my coordinator said to make sure I don't leave the hospital without my "binder". When I do get it, I will have to see how long they tell me to wear it for.

    I can attest to the binder being annoying! I didn't have stitches, my 5 incisions were glued closed. I did not have any wound issues and no bandages between incisions and binder. To me the binder made me feel secure, if I went without it my fat abdomen would move and hurt.
