So I made it a week so far so good. Still taking my antibiotics. Here's a piece of advice do not get this procedure in the summer!! I hate this garment it makes life so difficult and hot! I know I won't wear it past week 3. I see some people go and get spanx after 3 weeks and that's exactly what I plan on doing. Other than that no complaints

The garment is very hot especially my office puts padding in it (diapers) and I'm stuffed it's almost 90 degrees in Philly. I it's pretty much lay around all day. Tomorrow I'll be 1 week since sx. But I do think compression is super important. U should def think about the results u want and how much you've put out already to get to this point.

Did they show u how to make a pad to put in arch of back under garment to make a nice arch in back? Also to roll a towel thick and put in arch of back and then roll somethin under thighs to keep butt from hitting bed and lay like that 20 min a day to increase arch. I hope your getting lymph draining and aftercare. Good luck!

I've been wearing it as much as I can tolerate it. Last night at about 3am I snatched it off I couldn't take it but it's back on now. Yeah I've seen that and I've been doing it I sleep like that it's actually more comfortable than sleeping on my stomach for me

Well I came from Illinois so not to far away. He works with hotels so they give small discounts when you email him his assistant will send you all the hotels they work with I believe there are two. To be honest it's a 6 hr drive for me so I drove there and my hubby drove back... Don't recommend it I was supposed to stay but that's just what I did honestly and followed up with my doc here

I'm positive I made the right decision but I still question myself from time to time. I just want to be able to do things myself. I can't pick up my 3 year olds but they are Hilarious and keep calling me Mickey Mouse because my cheeks are swollen and I have on this chin brace from the chin lipo! They have me cracking up. Anyway I started itching so my mom and sister went to buy me Arnica and ceraphil soap... Omg 100% difference I feel so much better. I have a follow up appt tomorrow so I'll let u guys know how it goes

My stomach is so much better than it used to be but he already told me without a tummy tuck it wouldn't be flat. I still have a pooch but I knew I would. It's better tho, much better lol

I'll never take for granted being able to pee on my own... It's such a process now and sometimes nothing even comes out. It's frustrating not being able to do simple things. My head spins like crazy if I stand too long or try to go down steps.... My back is so sore. Pain level 5 again today. I'm tough tho if I could have a twins via c section I can get through this. I only can tolerate eating carrots right now and gaterade I typically hate carrots but for whatever reason I'm craving them right now. Not mad about that tho at least it's not junk food. I took my garment off and my stomach is so pretty I'll take pics later today and post for u guys
