Compression Garments

Has anyone used compression garments while losing weight? I saw this website and I wonder would these garments help. I am a newly sleeve patient. http://www.contourmd.com/Style-34-Mid-Thigh-Body-Garment-Pull-On-Contour

Any advice with any products?

I also wear one everyday that goes from just under my bra to my knees. I found them at Costco. Flexees is the brand. I don't have as much loose skin as I was expecting, and I believe it is due in part to wearing these everyday and while sleeping.

I know I am going to sound stupid, but what is a compression garment, and how does it help?

Okay thanks everyone. I heard they are popular with cosmetic surgery patients so wondered if it would help gastric patients also with sagging skin.

A compression garment is a girdle. It compresses the skin while you lose. Personally, I think it helps.

Thanks I purchased one. The abdominal binder given to me in the hospital did help also.
