northstar9148 82 Posted July 17, 2017 Iam kinda freaking out because they didn't really encourage me to walk or use that breathing device.Then they kept forgetting to put my compression stockings back on. Now Iam finding out that they should kept them on me the whole time I was in the hospital. I had to be my own advocate, although there were like 2 nurses that were good.Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RHmama 42 Posted July 17, 2017 I was outpatient - they put the compression stockings on me for surgery....once I was walking around (about 2 hours post op, they took them off. I had no "breathing thing." Walking around is the best thing you can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerBananaBelly 88 Posted July 17, 2017 I wore them and the pulsating things, too. I also had to wear them while traveling this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
