Very Important Question

4 days post-op. I have a family occation to go to today. Don't really feel like going, but it is for my Husband (his family) Anyway, my Question is: I had Lap RNY, Girdle or no Girdle. All my dressing fit horrible without one, will it hurt too much, or will it sort of act like a binder? Please help, leaving in 2 hours>>>>>>

Hi, You might have left already, but, I had Lap Rny and never wore the giredle. My hips were too large and it rode up making me even more uncompfortable. blessings, Maureen

Traci, I think you are very brave going to a social function this soon after surgery. I had the open rny two weeks ago and a girdle was not an option by my surgeon, although I did tell him that an abdominal binder would sure help when trying to get up and walk. This is the first I have heard about a girdle. Is it just for the Lap patients? Let us know how you visit went.

Made it through the occation but I did not wear the girdle, I winged it and was ok. Made it through the day..
