Changing my Life for the Better I Hope - San Antonio, TX

Could you PLEASE take a picture with it on and off?? I want to get one but I want to be sure it's going to do what I want it to do :) I am 4 weeks PO and since about 2 1/2 weeks PO, I've been wearing either the Spanx High Rise Brief or the Victoria's Secret Compression tank. Both are ok, but I definitely need more support.

Has anyone been experiencing sleep problems??? For the last week or so, it seems I can't sleep at all. I lay in bed at night until about 3 or 4 before getting restless and getting up to just move around. Could this be a side effect from the surgery/anesthesia. It seems like it's been ever since I stopped taking my pain meds. Today is day 2 back at work, and I am 3 weeks PO. I need to figure out a way to get this under control, because I am so tired at work and that's not a good thing.

I have tried taking Melatonin, 2 pills right before I lay down for the night and it doesn't seem to do anything.

Any advice??

I haven't gone more than 30 mins without mine, it feels weird to be without it. The only time I take it off is to take a shower.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing good in their recoveries. My recovery is going pretty smoothly. My PS covered my incision with this brown cloth tape,and I'm not supposed to take it off, so I have no idea what my incision looks like. He said he will take it off at my 1 month appointment. I can feel my incision through the tape and it feel smooth in some parts but very raised in others especially towards the ends of the incision (very very bumpy). I wonder if this is normal. I hope the scar isn't too bad when he takes off the tape. My belly button is getting more and more elongated by the day, so I think when it's fully healed (maybe another week), I will try the marble technique to make it more rounded out.
