Has anyone experienced the belly bands from the hospital becoming too big?  I am only 2 weeks out but they keep falling down in the back and don't seem very snug.  Any ideas where to get some different ones?

Robin,
Not sure what you are talking about.  Are you asking about the binders?  Maybe at a medical supply place?

Robin,
Maybe someone can loan you one?  Just a thought?

Medical arts  medical supply in mesa has em .  I think they run around $25.00 or  higher - If I could find mine I would wrap it up with a big Pink  bow and give it to you.  I think I pitched it already ...  hated that Darn thing

GOOD AFTERNOON!

yes, i had that experience.  i needed to go down a size within about two or so weeks.  not only did it keep sliding down...but it also did not give me the support that i got accustomed to at the beginning!

BTW...i am a BIG FAN of the compression garment!  you can ask anyone...i still wear it...although at 6 weeks out (last week) i got the ok from Dr. Schlesinger to wear it only if and when i felt that i needed to...SO...i still wear it when i am walking the dogs, walking on the tredmill, yoga-ing, hiking, and lifting weights (which i just started to do in the last few days!)  it provides comfort and security, FOR ME...but a lot of the other folks will tell you that they hate the thing! 

anyways...i ordered two more from:

ELITE Brand Industries
telephone :   888.633.8606  or 800.790.5004
www.elitepostopgarments.com

they got to me in two days...shipping was only fifteen dollars for the two of them.  it was SO worth it!

hope this helps.

YOU ARE DOING SO GREAT, VIXEN_LUV !
I AM DELIGHTED FOR YOU! 
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!
