I had lipo on my tummy, flanks. Inner and outer thighs and knees. Looking at stage 2 garments. I'm currently in a morena stage 2 size 2xl, and I think it'd be loose if I didn't have the pads. When I make myself at 5 days post op, I'm between L and XL.This brand's stage 2 are expensive, but I'm comfortable in it and it has a nice crotch opening. I was also looking at contemporary designs, but can't find reviews.I've also played with just getting compression running capris and wearing my high waisted compression undies from after I had my babies over the shorts. Thoughts?
