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?

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?

Hope Your Day is Great,

It is totally a bit harder than I thought it was going to be, mostly because of the headaches. Im HOPING it's easier today...I actually feel a bit better this morning.

I took Tylenol PM last night to deal with the headache & sleep. I'm interested to hear what your nurse says.

I'm a part of the group that ended up being way over prepared. I brought my own binder about a month before surgery, only to find out the day before surgery that the hospital provides one for you. Great, I thought - I can wear one while the other is being laundered.

After surgery I wore it maybe two days and that was it. I never had a great amount of pain and zero complications. My recovery was quick and easy. But not everyone is so lucky and I've read many posts where people found the binder essential, and some even wore it for a month or more. So again, the necessity is unique to the individual.

Every time I come across those binders I think that I should probably toss'em (I'm 14 months out), but I never do. Now that I'm entering the plastic surgery phase (probably 01/17), who knows, they might prove useful.
