trouble finding compression garments to fit properly



Recommended Posts

Hello all , im 4 weeks post op of Tummy Tuck and breast lift and ive been wearing the binder from the hospital. My doc just recently took my drains out and told me to start wearing Spanx along with the binder. Well ive tried 4 kinds now and spent a fortune and cannot get one to fit properly.. either the legs cut cirulation off or hurts my ribs.. Anyway i have another kind coming in the mail monday. a high top brief so any suggestions. Do you think this one is good for tummy tuck healing? thanks. I think im just proportioned different...:) I just dont wanna mess up my results. Im worried i wont find a good one... Thanks all.

Have you tried Design Veronique - I hafta admit the one I am in now - Does try to cut my ''underparticles'' (lol) up if it decides to not wit right but they do many types of fitting (name of which i forget right now) and I have used their compression garments for twoops now and they are great quality and as soon as I managed to get mine onn (the weird elasticated binder from the hosp just allowed me to swell outside it - so I doubled up to ''decompress'' myself and as soon as I was - I put it on and blisssssssssssss - Its like a second skin.

Hope you find one to fit you right.

Have you tried a Body Magic? They are medical grade and a lot of folks say they work wonderfully. I wear mine all the time and it has done wonders in shaping my body - even without surgery. (my website is www.ardysslife.com/figuresforfamilies - but if you are interested PM me and I can give you the wholesale prices as those on the website are retail - I would be happy to help folks get them at wholesale prices as I am not in the company to make millions)

I actually hated the Spanx! I also wasted a lot of money on them! They didn't give my mons any compression and they were not comfortable with their crotchless area. I love the Marena compression garments. They have the first phase and the second phase garments. The price isn't bad for what you get and I love them! They are easy to get on too! www.marenagroup.com and use the code word "skinny" for a discount. (I hope that still works!)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
