I went for my 2 wk post op appt today and found out I had lost 30lbs my bmi has went from 46 to 41. I am also down 1 size in jean shorts. She said I could to increase my exercise as tolerated and I could start taking the binder off as tolerated. I am so happy to be on the losing side.
the binder is what they put on you after surgery. It is suppose to give support where you need it. It fits real tight , my doc said not to be up with out it for the first two weeks.
