It depends on how tight it is.

First I think compression is great on your stomach after surgery,it supports your stomach making it easier to move and helps work the C02 gas out faster.

The only problem with shape wear is it makes it harder to eat and drink. That compression compresses right on your stomach and is leaves even less room in a very compact and swollen space.

It just depends. if you have one of the full body version you can unzip down the front when you eat you might be okay.

I was given a and abdominal binder to help no a girdle or compression wrap like a giant ace bandage to tighten and loosen as I see fit to help with gas and to help my belly from moving all over the place.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
