Question re wearing abdominal binder/girdle
Hi girls,
For those who have had a Tram flap reconstruction and were advised to wear a abdominal binder/ girdle for 6 weeks post op, how did you feel when it came off?
It is 6 weeks since my op tom...

I never got very clear instructions about how long to wear my binder and hated it, so I traded it in pretty much as soon as I came home for control undies I am still wearing them, week 10 post op, and have got used to wearing 'enormous pants', though what with the tummy tuck and the control briefs, all my trousers are falling off and even my belts are now too big to use. I find the undies give me enough support, but as everyone always says, we are all different! It might be worth finding some undies with greater support - they seem to come in degrees of control. I have also been doing some abdominal exercises I got when I insisted on a referral to the hospital physiotherapist, and feel like they are helping build my strength.
