I was looking at bariatric abdominal binders on Amazon. The one I'm looking at costs about $35. Is it worth having for the surgery?

the hospital gave me one - so you might want to check with them first. if not, I have one - hardly worn. would send it for the cost of shipping.

I have been looking also, I used a post partum binder after C-section to help with skin and muscles... think it will help after rny also?

Yes the one I used was actually the one my daughter got right after her C-Section. It worked wonderfully!

Did it help at all with skin?

I don't know what you mean by helping with skin???....I only wore it for support and pain relief....about two weeks.

Ah... I was wondering if wearing it would help the skin "bounce back" after weight loss... after my csec I wore mine about 2 months and you could barely tell I had been pregnant aside from a small pooch, and some stretch marks...

IDK, It may help with the elasticity of the skin keep it tight as it reduces and it won't be as saggy waggy????

What do you think about that argument for binding?

As well as support for stitches and healing?

That's what I am hoping for... I have one compression tank and hope to get a couple more before surgery day...

The support is worth it. I'm not sure it has to be a binder, anything that holds you in, like some light shapewear will work.

The support helps you not strain your stomach muscles, it especially makes it easier to sleep and sit up

I'm a week and 5 days out from my post op and just started feeling a "pull" on my left side about 3 fingers under the top incision site...I think now added support maybe nice but never would have wanted to hod on to the gas following surgery.

More than likely, the surgeon will put one on in the OR. After the drains are removed, then you will be able to buy others. I, personally liked extra firm waist nippers and bodysuit types. I was told that the longer I wear compression, the better the final result. Since this was my one and only shot, I wore compression for 6 months.

After my initial surgery I was given a pain pillow. It was something to hold and press against where my incisions were when I got up to move. After other surgeries that I had I used a abdominal binder. The binder was great at compressing everything.

oh my gosh yes, yes, yes do yourself a favor and get on!!!!

No bought one and didn't use once

I didn't use a binder of any kind after my RNY. What I did use and I feel made the best decision for me was bike shorts. It gave just the right amount of compression to hold everything in place and I didn't have to spend $35 on something with no further use. The shorts I used for exercise until they fell off so I got my money's worth out of them.

The hospital sent one home with me. I only needed it for the ride home.
