Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  abdominal binder suggestions Hi all, I've been having pain throughout my left side for the last few days (I'm now 6 weeks out). I spoke with my surgeon yesterday and he suggested I look into getting an abdominal binder to help support the muscles around the healing area. I guess this is something common to those of us that had open RNY. Did anyone use one? Do you have a particular brand, model or style that you prefer? Thanks!~ Amy

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Sorry but I cant help. sounds like a good idea though. That would have been good. I wasnt really in pain but it was uncomfortable so a binder would have been good. Im sure some of the others will be on shortly to give some advise. Good luck.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | they sent one home with me and I ended up using it when I had horrible back pain and it was helpful to a point for sure. Having that pressure on the incision site helped a lot on comfort. -bree

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Im acutally suprised they didnt send home in one acutually. I have woke up from surgerys with one on. Have the Dr write you a RX for it and the insurance will cover it if medically necessary. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | i used to wrap that sucker around my middle so tight that i felt my heartbeat in my head lol! im kidding, but it takes a lot the added stress off of your back which you are probably using more now that your abdominal area is out of commission....highly suggest this
