Sports Beas from Walmart are great. Danskin front closure, no wire, couple of sizes bigger than you are. $7 each. Can't beat it.

Well, as with any lipo, it takes a little while to see results. When you get lipo, it sucks out the fat, but the trauma to the tissue causes the area to fill with fluid/swelling. Also, when you have extensive surgery like I did, there is a LOT of swelling and Fluid build-up throughout the body, which almost always makes its way down to your ankles and calves, thus the need to walk A LOT. But once all the swelling was finally down, I so think there was a little bit of a visible difference. Not an extreme difference, because most of the tissue in my calves by that time was muscle, not fat.

Then, of course, I regained 80 pounds and that included a LOT of weight in my legs. For some reason, when I regained weight, my Tummy Tuck seemed to prevent weight re-gain in my abdomen so all of my weight had to go somewhere else, almost all of it went to my legs, as you can see in my photos in my gallery.
