Bariatric support belt

After the sleeve surgery did anyone have a bariatric support belt post surgery? If you did, was it any good? Would you recommend a particular one?

    I don't know of anyone who has had a support belt after WLS. The skin and tissue under it are not affected by laparoscopic surgery. However, one is required for at least six weeks following "tummy tuck" surgery. The skin is separated, stretched and cut and and the ab/tummy area needs the compression to reduce fluid build up and to keep the skin/tissue tightly in place as it heals.

    I had an abdominal binder while walking around in the hospital. It made it way easier to walk for longer times feeling my belly was supported.
