Hi May Tummy Tuckers !! I had my Full TT with Lipo done on May 3, 2012, so I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. You can read my whole story on this site under the name freefallwife... The reason I'm here is I have MANY after surgery garments that are collecting dust in my closet. I know how expensive they are and would like to sell them at a VERY low cost to my fellow ladies here on REALSELF... I have full garments, half ones, arm lipo garments, as well as Chin Lipo garments. Yes, I had all these procedures done. :) If you private message me, I will be glad to provide photos and more information. Here is my user site:

Kimmers25, if this is a NO NO, please let me know, I just can't seem to find a place to offer these items..
YES !!! Pins, needles, and what feels like a pulling sensation. I just asked my PS last week about it, and he said the muscles are still stretching, so I will have little weird, and sometimes painful feelings for quite awhile.
So true, I can tell it's more of a crutch than a needed item. I do use my binder at night, still at 7 weeks PO, but I TRY to keep it off during the day. My PS still wants me to use the spanx if I think I will be doing a lot during the day, just to keep down the swelling.
So, here is a funny story for you all !!!
I have been sleeping in my binder every night, because I still have a hard time sleeping on my side and rolling over even at 7 weeks PO, and most of you know my husband was deployed when I had my surgery and just recently returned 2 weeks ago.
Well, he has been begging me to sleep naked for days, but of course I am unwilling because I still need my binder. So, last night I caved in to his wishes, I was super uncomfortable and I felt like needles were running up my side, but I finally fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night with this excruciating pain on my right side. I rolled out of bed the best I could and gathered up my binder and night clothes, the whole time cussing in head at myself for listening to my husband and sleeping this way. I quietly close the bathroom door and flip the light on, trying to figure out why I am hurting so bad. I look in the mirror, and stuck to my side is my iphone !!! Not just lightly stuck, my skin was swollen around the edges, and it was just hanging on there. I pull it off and laugh at myself for forgetting I had it next to me when I fell asleep. I still have a square swollen area on my side this morning.
So ladies, make sure to have any objects removed from your bed before sleeping naked, you might find your body will try to eat it !!!
