All plastic surgery patients are required to use compression garments after surgery. Which brand did you use? We're looking at carrying compression garments from Marena in the BariatricPal Store. I was wondering if there were any alternative or better options.

Alex, do you think you'll carry binders for after wls? I understand it can help in the early stages.

They're a bit pricey but looks like really good quality! I reached out to them and we're discussing carrying their line.

I wasn't aware that binders were used often. Any idea what the "best" binder is? I am going to research this a bit more, thanks!

Yes I looked at this site as well and agree. To pricey for me. I will be needing sleeve compression when I have my arm surgery in early 2018.

Yes they are but they are very well made - Do not lose shape or anything. And very comfortable if you need to wear them 24/7

After getting the first one - It was so good I got one from them for every surgery - It made me feel so protected, I would never use another brand to be honest - Yes they may cost more - But I believe the people who designed them really thought about getting in and out of them after a surgery etc.

I have had quite a few of these and never had a problem with them.

One of my surgeries my Veronique garment had not turned up at the hospital, I was given some binder thing. Was so uncomfortable - And I swelled more than with these on -I could not wait until this was found and I could get back into the Veronique item that was just fantastic. I had no swelling problems at all in these. Would always rate them 10/10
