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!)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
