Compression Garments?



Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure where to ask this question so I thought I should start in the general discussion forum.. So since compression garments are heavily used when Lipo suction (and other weightloss plastics) is/are done, would they help with our type of weight loss? I have been looking into some to wear during my "honeymoon" phase to hopefully help prevent or lessen sagging skin. Has anyone tried it?

I asked the same thing in one of my blog posts. The answers were varied. Same when you do a search. Some of the Sleevers were convinced they'd had better results wearing them while others said they didn't see any difference. Personally, I plan to wear one post-op. My friend who had RnY did and she felt it helped.

You are so right, I can't seem to find a concrete answer...I think I am going to wear one as well. I am sure it won't make it any worst! :)

I wear one currently, but I had to wait until things were not so inflamed on the inside, because every time I put one on it gave me indigestion LOL I think it was because it was pressing in on everything, now it doesn't bother me I'm 7 weeks now. Just make sure your incisions are completely healed on the outside before you try one. :)

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
