Compression garments



Recommended Posts

I had read some where here about the diffrent compression garment that are recommended or used. Im 2 weeks out and the binder i was givin is ok but i i only feel it tight in my hip area not so much my upper body. I havent gotten swollen but i do like the support it gives. I just want something a bit more tighter. If any one recommends any. Thanks.

I used the Marena compression garments on Amazon. I liked the one that has suspenders, zips and snaps up the side, and extends down to the top of my knee. I used it the front and back part of my body lift and it worked much better than the binder. Link below.

When I went in for my two-week checkup, I was told to give up the band. They said something about my muscles getting used to the compression. I had a by-pass. Is this different for a sleeve?

Cheri_j was this for the Tummy Tuck or body lift?

No, this was just for the bypass. I must have missed something. I have to wait two years before I can have the Tummy Tuck.

My binder is very similar to the pic from Amazon. The breast area of mine is built into the garment. I'm still swollen a few inches in my low back and bikini line area. But I like the support from my garment. It's itchy but it's summer time in Texas so anything would be lol. I don't have to wear it after 8-9 weeks but probably will until the full 12 weeks is over.

      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! 😞
