Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in
Actually what was the procedure performed
Under any situation we usually do not recommend a belt
You can take any Vitamin supplement available OTC, or you can ask for from your doctor , online forums do not allow prescribing medicines without examining the patient
For constipation take lot of fluids orally and extra fiber in diet
Along with it you can add two teaspoonful of Isapgulla at bed time
Hope this helps
