Surgery Tomorrow

Hello Everyone,

    I am having the Gastric Bypass tomorrow morning. Are there compression shirts that can be worn for the excess skin? How has everyone betting getting along after surgery? 

Thanks,

Jim

Good Luck tomorrow.  Any pulsating/vibrations/unfamiliar sounds from your abdomen - have your surgeon call his cell phone.

Under Armor makes some good ones but the knock offs from Wal-Mart do just as well at less expense.

Hang on for a hell of ride!!

Thank you for the information. I am a little nervous but excited to get started with my journey.

James, best of luck. 

Not sure why, but I didn't need any compression shirts after surgery, so I can't help you there. I most definitly am starting to have loose skin now (I've lost about 140#, so there was bound to be some :)). I just wear tighter clothes, especially when I excersize.

Take care of yourself after surgery, and follow your surgeons recomendations to the letter. Let us know how everything turns out, and I look forward to hearing about your progress here! 

Thank you for your response.  I have been reading so much information trying to make sure I know what to expect from others who have already had surgey. I will keep everyone posted.

Good Luck James. I am scheduled for Gastric Bypass in 2 weeks. I wish you all the best and please let us know how you are doing.

Thank you. I will keep you posted on my progress and how the surgery turns out.

I also did not use a compression shirt, what  are they for? I had a sleeve though, maybe that was why?

My question more after I have lost the weight and how to deal with the loose skin. Would compression shirts help?

James, just following up. Hope all went well today!!!
