So Happy That I Did This!!!

WORTH IT$6,000
Went to the Docs today she wanted to check on my swelling. Last week I was there and she was concerned about my swelling, thank God all is ok. I was worried about getting a seroma.
I've been having such a hard time with garments! I have a small fortune invested in them! Spanx, fllexees, long ones, short ones, waist cinchers, all from the better dept stores, I am only able to wear them for just a few hours and then they HAVE to come off. I just can't stand them!. Originally the doc told me to get spanx but not to spend so much that I should go to target and their brand would be fine. My theory...you get what you pay for! So I bought the more pricey ones. Today, I decided to go to walmart and check out what they had, well I found one for $12.94 what a bargain!
So, I go to the doc sporting my new cg asked her how it was and was it enough compression... she said its fine. I have been wearing my post op binder at night and she said I shouldn't wear anything...kind of scary, but I'll try.
So now I don't need to see her for 2 months. Also asked about going to the gym, she said I can do anything but ab stuff, no abs for 6 months! I said 6 months! She said she did so much muscle repair and that's how long it's going to take :(
Anyway, getting back to my new walmart find, I've had it on since 9 am and it's 7:30 pm! It's very comfy, I'm not having any issues with it and life is good!
Happy healing to all (((hugs)))

Completely 100% understand about finding the right cg!!! I went from spanx and cut the crotch and got marena and returned it, and got a waist nipper and it compresses too much in the boning that I can't breathe! I finally got leonisa in medium and I usually wear small. This one seems to fit better and I wear a tummy control came over that. Anyway, good luck on finding the right one for you! You look awesome!!!!

my doc basically said the same thing about ab work for me, he said he did a lot and ab work would not help me it would hurt me so I did listen to him until he cleared me
