I didn't need a brace, and neither did any weight loss surgery patients with whom I'm acquainted in real life. I'd save the $35 if I were you.

Nonetheless, your mileage may vary. good luck to you. :)

They gave me one of those at the hospital. It helped with the post-op pain. You might want to ask your dr. if you can get one included in your hospital stay.

I never used one of those. I didn't have much pain at all post-op. The only slight issue I had was gas pain and walking was the best cure for that.

Some people might benefit from it though.

I got a binder when I was at the hospital and I love it! They gave me two. So one keeps me together if you know what I mean during the day.. too much flab slapping around.. it doesn't feel like I'm splitting open when I get up or mobile doing things around the house, helps my posture.. I bind the two at night loosely around and it prevents me from scratching the living daylights out of my healing itchy stomach.. and honestly I think it's melting some fat around my waist and giving me some form.. or so I wanna believe [emoji12]

I got mine in the hospital. I wore it til about 2-3 weeks post-op and haven't needed it since. Just make sure you get the right size in the hospital the first one they brought for me wrapped around me almost 2 times so I had to ask them for a smaller one.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
