1 week after my surgery. I was coughing, got a chest band to help with that

Great idea. I wish I had one of those, it's the coughs that catch you off guard that hurt the worst!!!

Where did you get the chest band? That is a great idea, especially as I have allergies.

Nice chest band! I was issued a "heart hugger" chest harness which held me together as I coughed or sneezed. Such a blessing... and better than a pillow!

Good idea! never knew that was around....I didn't cough very much at all with second surgery, but the first surgery was really bad. I hope it is helpful for you and that coughing will soon end! take care
