I had this procedure, although it was broken up in two surgeries- first I had the front part with boobs, then I did thighs and arms, then I had the other 180 on the back. I like the Marena compression garments that are on Amazon. I had 3 surgeries over 7 months and I wore the garments for all of them...I must have washed them 200 times and they are still in perfect shape. I used the one that has straps over your shoulders and extends down to your knees for the first and second half of my 360 lift. It was very comfortable to sleep in and I wore them a little longer than I needed to just because they were really "safe" feeling.

Pain was minimal. I used drugs the first 3 days on my first two procedures, and the first 24 hours on my last procedure because I somehow developed a reaction to Percocet.

Good luck with surgery- you will LOVE your results!

      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! 😞
