I bought a marena second stage garment, pricey, but comfortable. I wore it last week under clingy dress. I found the spanx and other would roll down above my tummy.

I'm still in my binder and I'm 4 weeks in. My PS said 6 weeks in binder. I'm still hunched over a bit. It takes so much time to recover, it's major surgery. Listen to your body. Be patient. My friend said it took her months to feel 100%. So just relax and don't over do it and the results will come. Post surgery frustration and depression are normal. I have ups and downs all the time. You're gonna be fab in no time :-)

Yeah have had lots of break downs. It's so hard to have to depend on everyone for so much. I am still in my binder, I bought a flexess, it did give me tummy support but realized it was doing anything for my flanks. So back to the binder, I actually feel more secure with it. Are you swollen, and do you look the same as day one?

I am swollen. I don't think I look the same as day one. Slightly less swollen. I started not sleeping with binder on, but def need it throughout the day.
