When Did You Spanx It? ;)

I was wondering what you ladies did about the bumpies after surgery, how early did you start wearing Spanx or other smoothing garments?

I'm three weeks post-op and need a little camo...is it too early?

I would not wear the super tight ones.

I have worn one for years and I used to call it my girdle because I'm old. My kids hate that word so I now call it a body shaper...lol. I wore a larger size body shaper after my surgery just to smooth things out but I have upgraded to one that is more snug fitting so I don't have any bulges. I also wear a torso body shaper...it's really cool. Just pull it on and it covers your stomach area only.

I was given the green light for spanx at 2 weeks out, as long as they weren't worn for long periods and they weren't tight enough to cause problems.

I play competitive softball, so I wear my body shaper under my uniform. I don't like my tummy/chest flopping all over the place haha
