Belly bands??? (repeat from Oct. 2011)

What's your take on them?  Do they really work?  Do they strengthen abdominal muscles or do they get lazy?  I'm just curious what you all think.  TIA!

    I don't know if it really did anything to strengthen my muscles, but I definitely was more comfortable with it on. It keeps everything "in place" and keeps the extra tummy from folding over on the incision. 

    I was given one from the hospital.

    I had a c-section 6 months ago and a band was talked about but never given to me. Anyone out there try one this late to see if it works or am I too late to try? I am a bellydancer and that has helped get me back because it works my stomach a lot plus I have been trying to do pilates once a week which I think also helps cause it's all working that core area but if anyone else has tips to help get this pooch back to what it was pre-baby  I all ears. Thanks.
