i had my preop appt and labs yesterday and the dr told me he is planning on releasing me from the hospital the same day. i am definitely more than a little nervous about this. i will be coming home with 2 drains, no binder and no restrictions!?!? where can i get a binder?

If your surgeon doesn't want you wearing a binder, then perhaps you shouldn't?  Have you asked why he doesn't?

The panniculectomy is only skin removal, as opposed to muscle tightening as with a tummy tuck, so perhaps that is why he feels this way and why there are no real restrictions?

Good luck to you!

I wish you the best as your day arrives...Blessings to you..!

It's odd how each surgeon has different views on things...I will be coming home in a binder and also he is sending an extra one home with me, so I will have a clean one on standby at all times...The no restrictions/ I REALLY DON'T GET HIS THINKING AT ALL ON THAT ONE..!! hmmm?

AGAIN..THE BEST TO YOU AS YOUR DAY APPROACHES AND YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY..
