Compression Garments Post-Op
I've been thinking about what I'll wear under my clothes after the surgery. Right now I fluctuate between Body Magic (horrible when you have to go to the bathroom) and Squeem. I tend to run cold so I'm always layering and if I can find something to nip and tuck, I'm game. I've tried Spanx but they either don't stay in place or are so thin they are not worth it.
So as I read the many posts here about compression garments, I've wondered if anyone knows of any scientific studies that show they help. I ask this because I didn't wear anything right after my c-section but once I finally started it was a whole new world...far less pain. I always wondered if it was all in my head or if it really helped me in some way.
Now, in speaking with my surgeon, he didn't have a preference. I'd like to go ahead and buy now (if it is worth it) during the holidays since there are a few promotions going on. But I'd like to know if it was worth it for any Sleevers that may have tried them post-op.
Specifically,
- Did you find it helpful?
- If so, why...if not, why not?
- What brand(s) did you buy?
- What model/item?
- How soon after surgery did you wear yours?
- Was it painful to get into?
- Do you still wear it?
- Anything else that I should know to help me decide?
I'd really appreciate anything anyone has to offer regarding this. Thanks!
