Hi Ladies,I also recommend the codine,and besides holding onto my belly with my arms,the physiotherepist that saw me after my c section gave me a long bandage type thing,similar to a tube,had lots of stretch, but heaps of support for the belly after surgery,I just don`t know what they call them,because I`d had baby number five my tummy had sagging near to my scar,it really helped me out pulled my tum in and kept a firm hold of everything,you could probably ask the doctor,for some advice too. good luck.
