I work an office job. I returned to work 2 weeks after my surgery. Monday was great! Everyone said I looked great and my boobs looked a lot bigger. Lol! Tuesday I started feeling really sore and a burning sensation. I thought it would go away when I went to sleep. Wednesday morning, I woke up with the same uncomfortable sore feelings on the belly and back. I card my docs offc, they said it was normal and past of the healing recover process. UGH! Can my recovery just be over already! :)

No More CG! YAY!

Here is my squeem! It's a large and it fits tight. Here is a pic. Don't like how the back rolls. I am going shopping on Saturday to buy one or two more to have a variety to wear. I'm still swollen and sore, but I can move a lot more and so more. Overall I feel great!!
My doc said I'm doing good. He said to wear a shape wear min. 6 weeks, max. 12 weeks. He said no exercise for 3 weeks. He said I will have good days and bad days but recovery for this type of procedure takes time. He said full results will show at 6 months.

I bought the squeem waist cincher not the one that is like a tank. It just wraps around me and doesnt have the straps. The large spanx tank top that I bought like that was in a large also and it was sooo tight and uncomfortable so that probably makes a difference. I have a pic of mine posted. You look great by the way!

Almost 1 Week Post Op
LAMOMMY3August 4, 2014
Wow! I can't believe how fast time passes. Tomorrow will be one week since my surgery. In have to say this process has been completely different from my breast aug. I had 2 years ago. With my breast aug. I felt the recovery was quick, I went back to work after 4 days. Frankly with this procedure, I'm so over everything! I'm happy with the results but can't wait for my skin to return to normal, I can't wait to stop wearing my CG, I can't wait to sleep on my belly, I can't wait to not have any swelling/soreness. I will say I'm nervous about going back to work next Monday. My co-workers have no idea I had this procedure done and I want to come back as normal as possible, but the way I feel today, I just don't know. I see my doc on Wed, I can't wait to switch over to a spanx. Does anyone have any suggestions on spanx?

I found that the most comfortable spanx was the pull up one that has legs (goes to mid thigh). The other ones that you put on like a tank top were too hard to get on and off. I like the squeem. I would say you need a medium. I am going on 7 weeks and I am still sore at times and still have some swelling and numbness in areas. Good luck on your recovery.

Thank u Akeen34! I took your recommendation and ordered the squeem, it arrives on Friday. I'm nervous about the size. My CG is an XL and it's big. I know you said to order a medium but got worried it would be to tight and uncomfortable being that I'm returning to work on Monday. I ordered a Large for now. I ordered the compression vest shape wear with the open bust.

My cg is an xl also and I ordered the large squeem and it fits fine. I think I may even be able to go to a medium soon. You are alot smaller than me so I am curious to see what you say about the large. It definitely gets easier to put on after the first day. Start at the bottom with the hooks and work your way up to the top. I might post 7 week pics tonight but I look pretty much the same so its kinda depressing.

I just recvd my squeem! I love it. I'm happy I went with the large. I'll post a pic with it on. No way I would have fit a med. lol. No more CG!! YAY!

How was work?!?
August 8, 2014
I go back on Monday. I'm nervous, no one knows at my job I had this done and don't want them to know. The shape wear I got is way tight! And it's a large. I hope to get comfortable in it this weekend.
August 8, 2014
Oh I misunderstood, I thought you started this past Monday. Maybe find some different shape wear in the meantime? Don't worry about what size it is, you are still swollen and healing (I know how hard that can be!). Or like you said, hopefully you get use to the shape wear you have in time for Monday.

After my surgery / before I got my second garment from the PS, I went to the mall and tried on a BUNCH. I found a Dr. Rey one w/ a bra on sale and I also found some Maidenform highwaist shapeware. They all have hook-and-eye crotches. I made sure they were quite tight (I was only 1 wk post op). I like having a variety to choose from. They are all more snug than Spanx because they have panels that don't stretch. Good luck going back to work! I'd suggest you just try a bunch on and get what fits the tightest that is also comfortable (and affordable).

Thank you! I'm going to do that tomorrow, I want to have a few to change out from. I'm worried that the shape wear is too tight, is there such a thing for us?? How often do you wear your shape wear?

Does anyone know if Lipo makes loose skin look worse? it isn't horrible but I want to have this done because of loose skin on my legs:)
