Abdominal Binder

I was wondering if anyone else's doctors had them wear abdominal binders for an extended period of time after their surgeries. This last one I had was a laproscopic surgery and they put in a mesh to help stop adhesions and reinforce the abdominal wall and they want me to wear the binder for 6 months instead of the usual 4-6 weeks. he said they have found that it cuts down on adhesions significantly. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
