A post operative vest for patients recovering from abdominal surgery has front and rear panels with an opening for the patient's head. The front and rear panels are connected only at the top and ties or other fasteners extend from the sides of the panels to adjustably secure the vest about the patient's mid-section. A centrally located front pocket is sized to releasably secure a post operative surgical pillow at a position proximate the user's surgical site. The closure means allows for securing pillows of different sizes and facilitates orientation of the pillow in different positions as may be required by the patient.
