    Hi Leigh, my personal opinion is that its a good thing you can't stand up straight right after TT surgery. It means your surgeon has pulled everything as tight as possible for the best results possible. I did not even attempt to stand up completely straight for about 12 days and I didn't push it. And for me, that was the right thing to do. Best Wishes!

    Hello Leigh, the "no drain" TT is the way to go. Easier healing, easier getting around and I recovered faster. I wore my surgical binder for only a week then transitioned to Spanx items which took time to find the right fit. I am still at 125lbs and my workouts saved my sanity. Click on my name/pic and read my story. I'm getting ready to update next month for my 1 year anniversary. No drain TT was THE best thing I did for myself!! I rocked a teeny bikini this Summer and it felt great. Best wishes on your journey!!

    I only wore the stiff surgical garment for one week. Then my PS let me use Spanx. Once I figured out my fav Spanx item(s), I loved wearing it during the day for support and especially during workouts.

    I think 3 weeks is fine. I went back to work on my day 12; drove myself on day 14.

    I started light yoga and Pilates at 4 weeks post-op. Back to my full workouts and running by 9 weeks. But I didn't experience swelling like others since I had the no-drain procedure and healed very fast. Getting my workouts back was my key to sanity.
