My surgery was on 10/14! Tomorrow I start my puréed foods phase. I am getting excited as I think my tummy is tired of liquids. I am not sure if anyone else was like this, but today I have been hungry. Anyone else have this issue?

Good morning!! I was told to chew my samples and I think that is my problem right there, so I am going to have them dissolve in my mouth and try that. The samples I had from BA did not have directions on them; but when I had my nature made vitamelts, the directions specifically stated to dissolve first. Thank you so much for your insight!!

Awwww I highly doubt that you look like Shar Pei, but I completely understand. It definitely would NOT hurt if you had one. Since you have extra skin, the extra support that a binder provides can be helpful. Maybe get with your doctor and see if they can provide one for you or just go to a DME store and see if you can buy one outright.

Yes I have, and I actually have it on. I wear a tank top first and then put on my binder. The the top I want to wear over the binder. When I am home, I just wear it over my shirt. I still want to look "smooth" and I like the support. To me it helps as I was told not to wear Spanx or something like that yet because of my incisions. I am not sure if it will help down the road, but I feel like it does help me at this point. (I had my VGS surgery on 10/14/2015) Not sure if this helps you, but good luck! ????
