Compression Garments How Soon Did U Start Using Them?

[PhoenixFire 10]

I Heard compression garments can help with loose skin. For those that do use them,How soon did u start using them after surgery?? How soon for the type that goes over the stomach?? When do u wear them (all day, all night,when excercising)? And to those who have used them do u think that they actually helped??

I started using them right after a week of surgery , This has helped me well at least i believe it has , I cant go a day without wearing it . I wear it everyday all day and just sleep with out it .

[ke1cutie 10]

It's like Shapewear / Spanx.< /p>

I wear mine all the time except to sleep as well. Not sure if it helps, but I like them. I started wearing mine about a week out too.

So, are we allowed to use it?? I'm 4 days post op and I think that will be something really helpfull and is easier to move arround.

Well my doctor said it was okay to wear it , as long as my incisions were healed. Makes me feel way better than not wearing anything at all , I see it slimming and giving my waistline a better shape , no muffin top whatsoever !! lol

As long as it isn't bothering your incisions.

Does anyone use the ones for the arms?? Do u think that one is helping??

[ke1cutie 10]

No I never thought about trying it for arms ... sorry , something to think about tho ......

I have used it and it makes me feel better, helps with post surgery Water retention. Don't know if it'll really help with loose skin, that's just going to take surgery for me. I have to be realistic, i'm losing weight fast and it's just not enough time for the skin to catch up.

I woke up from surgery with one on! I wear it all the time except for sleeping. I love it. It feels so good on.

It helps with surgery healing at first and now I wear them everyday and double up when I am planning a hard workout. I love the Lane Bryant version, but i've shrunk out of them now so I'm a Spanx girl. Good Luck!
