Barbie you look great... keep up th egood work. We can all agree there should be an opening to pee I hate having to take it off everytime...

While I was healing it took me FOREVER to find the right compression garment. I really like Spanx quality so I just kept ordering and sending them back until I found "my" perfect fit.

I loved the "hide and sleek" hi-rise panty in "medium" shaping strength. Fit perfectly under my work clothes and kept me feeling supported. The super control stuff was just waaay too tight and I could barely breathe. And I wear a size 2.

Thanks so much. Yes, I have started massaging and it does get better. Thanks for your recommendation and for listening to me ramble :) Take care and happy healing!

No worries I feel your pain, and I hate the fact that compression garments are such a headache. I hated the binder I got form my ps to me it was useless. I did lipo and is painful, and I'm at 8 weeks post op and swelling still there so is a slow recovery, don't get discourage. Going back to the garments I purchased the one with the sipper on the side, knee lengh and I like it because it hides well with pants, also is crocht less so peeing is easy, I do wear my undies over it alittle weird but it helps.

I started massaging the lipo area and saw improvements on the swelling, try eating a diet high in proteins, remeber your muscles are healing.

What kind of both did you purchase? I'm getting so discouraged by compression garments. I will be 3 weeks on Thursday and can then switch to a spanx type garment. I have the abdominal velcro binder that was put on me in surgery and I purchased a medical grade girdle from my ps, which I hate because it sits right on my hips where my lipo drainage/gravity has taken up residence and it HURTS!!

I bought flexees boy shorts and didn't get the upper abdomen support from those but they felt good on my hips, I bought a bunch of different ones/types at walmart like the high waisted mid thigh but they don't have a crotch opening so I have to peel the whole thing down to pee and I'm drinking tons of water so I pee all the time. I feel pretty good for only being 2.5 weeks out but I hate not having the right garment!! My incision is still sore and the lipo is a killer and if a garment sits on the lipo site or around it...it will swell and bruise again.

It makes me wish I had not had lipo! My pre op clothes fit great except on my hips they are tighter because of the lipo!! GO away swelling so I can feel better!

Sorry for the rambling but any help on exactly which garment would help me!

I first put the garment on at 2 weeks post op, which it was when they took my drains off. I purchased an XL since I wear a size 14; compression was pretty serious, I immediately saw how it helped contour my body. After about 3 weeks in, I noticed it was easy to put in, so sewed about 1 1/2 inches on each side, and that's how I been wearing it. I'm tempted to purchase a smaller size, but I'm trying no to spend the extra $$$$. I purchased those Assets instead, and I alternate, since summer is around the corner and I don't think I can wear it with my summer dresses. :-)

Fajate?? Where do you find these? Thanks.
