Can I Use Tummy Control Panties Instead Of Wearing Hernia Belt?
I have just had surgery for an incisional hernia. I was sent home with a wide belt to protect my stomach area. The hernia was fairly high up on the abdomen. Left side up past belly button. My surgeon wants me to wear this hernia belt for 6 months. Will firm tummy control panties do the same job?

I really appreciate your concern, no if this is the hernia condition then you will have to follow the advise given by your doctor and better to wear the hernia belt, beside this other device may not work properly hope this information helps.
