Never used a binder for WLS post op. Alot of folks used them post plastics to aid with swelling and pain.

I was sleeved November 7th my hospital did have binders and I requested one but once it was time to go home I was so excited to leave I completely forgot to follow up on that. I ended up going to a medical supply store and picking one up. I felt it made me feel better holding the incisions taught during physical activity. I still wear it when I remember to because I feel it improves my posture while I'm out and about. Just ask the staff on your pre op visit when they do your blood work and what not and they will give you the answer. I believe most hospitals have them on deck.

I actually woke up from surgery with one on. Highly recommend it. Without it I felt like my stomach was dragging on the floor. The added pressure helped me a lot. If your surgeon can't provide one I would def go out and get one.

My surgeon puts them on all bariatric patients when the surgery is over so we wake up with them. He said to keep mine on for a month. It actually feels really good... when I take it off for a while I can feel my incisions painfully or uncomfortably rubbing up against stuff. With the binder on I feel nothing at all.

No one even mentioned one during my program, so I had no idea until I was browsing here post surgery. I bought one off Amazon and it has been so nice.

GET ONE!!! IT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE FOR ME POST OP!! My Doctor advised me to get one and as soon as he visited me bedside after the surgery, I asked him "when Can i put my binder on" and he said "NOW".. as mentioned it helps with your posture and hold everything in nice and tight and you feel you can manage.. I wore it for a month!! Loved it!!

I used one for 3 weeks. Our bed is low to the ground and I wouldn't have been able to sit up and get out of it without abdominal support. It help with pain immediately and I was off pain meds by post op day five.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
