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.< /p>

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
