Binding


Robin,
I've never heard of this practice. Many surgeons request that a patient wear a "binder" after surgery. My surgeon requires that I wear mine for 2 months following surgery (only 1 more week to go). It helps keep the incision together (I had open RNY) during healing process. Also helps prevent hernias too. It does nothing tho to prevent skin sagging etc.
If you do a search on google.com , using surgical binder you will see many photos of the binder. It is very stretchy and has velcro closures.
