Compression Garments



Recommended Posts

I have my date sent for Nov 30, the problem is that I'm having questions regarding the extra skin. I'm young and my skin still has some give to it, now i have been reading a lot about how people have used compression garments to help give them a nice figure prior to have any surgery at all so i was thinking if I were to use compression garments the ones they use like after full body Lipo and the ones the use for there arms after surgery also do u think that will help alot with the extra skin and my skin tighten, I have heard that using sulfur soap and dsmo (what every that is) also helps so if anyone has and ideas please let me know.

If you are going to lose a lot of weight fast save the money, the garments will not stop the sagging skin from coming. You were the compression clothing after to keep things together. With exercise and the compression wear (I like Under Armour) I show a good form.

How do you think molding the skin is going to help once you lose 40 pounds quick? Being younger, you skin will have a little more elasticity but still you will have loose skin. Think of it like soft ear plugs, once you pull them out they puff back out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
