How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I am 6 weeks PO today. I slept in Spanx last night & did not notice any additional swelling. The only problem I had is that I am very short waisted & I had an annoying roll at the top. Does anyone know of a Spanx like garment for petites? I switched to a Donna Karan garment today which was much more comfortable. It is still too much material for a short waisted person, but better than Spanx. I was cleared to exercise today so I walked on the treadmill. Granted, I only walked 1.5 miles at 3.5, but it's a start. My PS said take it slowly since I had the drains in for so long. It felt great & so far I have not noticed any additional swelling. : )

I am 5 weeks PO today. My PS cleared me to wear Spanx. I tried to wear the stage 2 cg from Marena yesterday and after 4 hours, I had to go back to my binder. I swelled up like a balloon! I would love to hear when others were able to be in Spanx vs the binder. The good news is that I tried on my jeans & they are at least 2 sizes too big!

I am so happy to have the drain out. It feels great not having the constant pinching & pulling. I now have fluid leaking out of the drain hole. It's weird. The PS told me to keep a gauze pad on it & that it will close up in 2 days. He said not to apply Neosporin or anything at all. The fluid is so much that it is soaking through the gauze & onto my binder & pants every 30-60 mins. My fabulous January TT buddies suggested a maxi pad over it. That works much better. I thought I would post this in case anyone else has the same thing.
