SPANX- how soon after surgery can I wear them?

[TBodmer71 245]

Hey Ladies,

I am 11 days post-op and am looking forward to wearing real cloths and not sweats. My incisions are still healing. They are stitched and glued but, get uncomfortable when things rub up against them. I am hoping I can wear my full torso Spanx sometime soon.

Any thoughts?

As soon as they are comfortable!

I laid gauze between my Spanx and the incisions to stop any chance of rubbing but was wearing them by 2 weeks out.

Slap some band aids on those and get your Spanx on!!!! Best undergarment EVER!!!!

I think I started wearing them around 2-3 weeks post op.

I tried Spanx once when I was 248 lbs. They made a huge roll over the top. Guess the fats gotta go somewhere...

Don't like em...

I would agree with everyone, it's when YOU feel comfortable in them. I wore my girdles about 2 weeks out. Granted I don't do Spanx. I Love the concept, dont' get me wrong..but umm a small hole at the bottom to attempt to pee out of? no thanks:)

I have found some amazing alternatives at Walmart & Ross where I can wear my own bra and still get the full effects of spanx i'm somewhat addicted to girdles!! Almost have as many as i do shirts! haha..but it boosts confidence and keeps my skin in control!

I buy the ones that start at my bra not at the waist. It helps to smooth the back, sides and front. I have never experienced a "roll" from wearing them. I keep 4 different lengths. Brief, Mid-thigh, calf and full length (down to ankle). LOVE EM'.
