Compression garment

I had my surgery exactly one week ago and lost 15 pounds in a week. Has anyone tried compression garments?? And give any recommendations? Thank You!

      I was given a compression binder at the hospital. I found it initially uncomfortable and scratchy. However it was a HUGE help in sleeping comfortably. It helped reduce the movement of my incision sit

    That is awesome!!! Good for you!

    I read several people saying that they found good compression garments at WalMart and Target, very reasonably priced, too!

    I hope I have your success after my procedure next month!

    I was given a compression binder at the hospital. I found it initially uncomfortable and scratchy. However it was a HUGE help in sleeping comfortably. It helped reduce the movement of my incision sites, therefore making me more comfortable when turning or adjusting my sleeping position. It also helped when I was walking.
