What Are Your Thoughts On Compression Garments?



Recommended Posts

So my surgery date is on 3/27... I'm super excited. I've been preparing mentally and emotionally. I have ordered my Vitamins, but I'm not sure if I should get a compression garment?? Did anyone here use one, would you recommend it??

I have been using compression garments for the last 2 years. They are amazing! I am not sure how soon I can get back into mine once I have the surgery due to compression of the abdomen but I hope it will be soon afterwards. I really believe that the garments can help prevent the hanging skin syndrome or at least decrease it.

I don't have one yet, but you can Google compression garments for bariatric surgery and a few websites popup. Also Amazon has them. They have all sorts of the full body, or shorts, ect. I did notice that some brands do have different stages, so stage one would be directly postop, and so on.

The one I use is by Ardyss called the Body Magic long which is a full body Capri length. They have many different styles including men's garments.. I also wear the t shirt from them when I don't feel like girding up full force.

Here is the website. (hope its ok to post this)
