WORTH IT$11,700
My husband brought back this T-shirt from Puerto Rico about a month ago. I was horrified to see that it was a tight T-shirt. Doesn't he know that I've been avoiding tight T-shirts for the past five years? So, I balled it up and hid it the back of my closet never to be reminded of it again. Today, I'm rocking it!

Thanks to everyone that commented on this. I did call my ps and he said the reason I was having difficultly taking deep breaths is because they closed my over 6 inch diastasis I therefore had to get used to breathing in less space. Anyway, today, my breathing is back to normal. I agree though that shortness of breath is nothing to take lightly.

Things are going fine. The only thing that is kind of bothersome is that I can't seem to catch my breath. I need to take short rapid breaths. In order to feel that I'm getting Enough air. Is this because my compression garment is tight?

Hi TwinPlus1. I too had the shallow breath, actually I'm 9 days PO and I still have it when I walk around too much, then I get a nagging cough. Good luck to your recovery. My first 5 days were really bad but now at 9 it's much better. I did get depressed today because I had some swelling that I didn't have before so belly not as flat. We all need patience. Have a great New Year!
Twins, I think you should call you doc, today! Shortness of breath can be a sign of a blood clot, probably your tight compression, but just talk to them to be sure! Just my opinion, I am not a plastic surgeon, but in health care and this needs to be discussed with your surgeon!
Hi TwinPlus 1, I'm a Respiratory Therapist I work with post op pts daily. So even though you feel the need to breathe shallow you need to take deep breathes to prevent any pulmonary complications. Take 10 slow deep breathes every hour while awake. Your garment may be causing the shallow breathes if it is tight but you just had major abdominal surgery and it hurts to breath deep. If you need to you can support your tummy by hugging a pillow when breathing deep and if needing to cough.
Please check in with your doctor when I had shortness of breath from are vinous surgery I was having an allergic reaction to Vicodin. Don't take this lightly.
