Weight Loss Surgery - Anyone know where to find plus size abdominal binders?

My dr suggested I get one to help with the blood that's collected in my lower abodmen and that is blocking the gas from escaping (ouch) and I got one (the largest size in my area). It helped for a day. Now all it does is roll up into a thick band right over my incisions. (SUPER OUCH) If you could help me find one, or have one in good shape you'd be willing to sell please let me know.

Thanks,
Sharmel

oh dear- you have my sympathies. but i have no idea!!!!! could you contact the manufacturers of the one that you do have? maybe they make larger sizes? or have contacts that might help?

After surgery, I had problems with the binder irrating my incisions & started wearing a thin tank top under the binder so it was a cushion. It did the trick-give it a shot.

Well mine is rolling up into a large thick elastic band right over my incisions... b/c I beleive they measured me wrong and it's just too darn tight!.. Thanks for you help anyway ladies.

Hugs,
Sharmel

psssssst. here's a secret - many of us never used the binder. ask your surgeon if you REALLY have to! maybe he'll say that you don't need it!!!!

doesn't hurt to ask -
