Arm compression garment recommendations?



Recommended Posts

So, I am booked in for round two of plastics in may which will be an arm lift. Excited and nervous!

I'd be grateful for any helpful tips from people who have had this surgery for things that helped your recovery as well as compression garment recommendations? I am in the UK but visiting the USA next week so that may be my chance to get something?

If there are any aids or equipment you'd recommend too that'd be fab.

Thank you all in advance

All my garments came from Design Veronique - Worth their weight in gold!

They are not the cheapest - But they made me feel like I was protected form the world - Most of them (To protect my scars through first phase of healing and under I had Micropore tape) I wore for 12 weeks - Using this tip I got - My scars when having the tape and the compression on for 12 weeks - Left my scars much finer and flatter then my own arms - That I removed the compression etc after 6 weeks (Which now I know the tips _ I wish I knew all that before - lol)

And you can also get them in the UK ( I think if you see the one you want on the US site the UK people will send you it from the product number - I just phoned them up and orderd the one I needed and it arrived a couple of days later)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
