Did you use one post - op?

No, because my waist was smaller than my abdomen/hips so it just rode up and was uncomfortable. I just held my left side alot (that incision is a killer for about 2 weeks).

Yes I had one. I wore it for a month post op because I had issues with an incision and with my hyper active son, they thought it would be best.

Yes and wouldn't have traded it for anything! Went back to working 50 hours a week immediately after surgery and wore it a month.

I had one on coming out of surgery. I wore it the first week when I left the house to hide the drainage bulb and pinned the drainage bulb on it. After that, not so much. It just wasn't that comfortable.

I did, and it was a lifesaver. I wore it very TIGHT and it helped so much. I hated to take it off for my shower! I wore it from day 3 after surgery until about 30 days or so. I felt like it really minimized that left side incision pain and helped when I was getting up and down.
