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!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
