I remember all TOO WELL the rigid polymer corset with velcro and ties and such I had to wear after deep back surgeries. Now that was one UNCOMFORTABLE getup and I had to wear it for many weeks. One of those keep the fusion from failing too early type garments. Believe you me, IF you wind up talking fusion with a board certified spine surgeon you will wind up wearing one of those. Kinda hard to find them at Victoria's Secret.
