How are you feeling? Give yourself plenty of time to heal and do exactly what the doctor says. I was super glad when I had the drains removed but it was such an icky feeling. I was asked if I wanting something to relax me before removal but I let them know I had driven myself so, no. Looking good, hope you are happy and healing nicely.

Hi there. I'm 3 weeks out today and I'm no longer wearing the compression garment my PS gave me. But I am wearing a garment that I already had that I used to wear under dresses to smooth lumps and bumps and I really like it. It holds everything in and makes my incisions feel supported. And it's not bulky under clothes at all. I hope this helps!

I used my abdominal binder everyday for 3.5months it helped with the swelling quite a bit..I'm still wearing it at night to help with the edema.
