@judithw Interesting. My niece donated a kidney a week and half ago at Mayo Phoenix. She was not offered any binder. She went on Amazon and bought wide band yoga type pants to add a little pressure on her abdomen. A couple of people on the staff who saw her during her stay (she doesn't remember who) also told her that Mayo gives a cute character plushie kidney, to donors but she never received one. She was wheeled into the hall near the nurse's station where staff clapped for her, read a thank you statement, and had her ring a bell. Otherwise, it was a typical hospital stay.
