Has anyone post op Open RNY used an abdominal binder?

I am 10 days post op open RNY, steri strips were removed today. My incision looks good but I was wondering if an abdominal binder would help the incision heal. I purchased one before surgery but in the hospital the surgeon said no..that it was too restrictive and would not allow deep breathing...what about now? Anyone who has used one...whether successful or not please let me know..
