Are corsets safe for RNY post-ops?

Hi folks, I've been doing some research on corsets. I know from different sources that corset "training" WILL make your waist smaller...by displacing organs and ribs....also I found out via the Calorie Restriction Society, that a tightly compressed stomach area (ie. corsetted) makes the stomach produce a chemical that promotes a feeling of fullness and saity....I'm gung-ho for it...especially reading that it can help get rid of those last few hard to loose pounds...I've also read that the displacement of organs is not harmful...I'm just wondering...since our plumbing is re-arranged anyway...if it's as safe for *us*...Any corsetted females out there with some advice? I know sometimes corsets are considered fetish...believe me this is totally utilitarian ...Private e-mails welcomed for anyone uncomfortable posting public...thanks! Kim open RNY 7/17/01 282/145/125
