I am so excited I got this done! The pain and discomfort suck, but I know it gets better every day. I'm so glad I went with a PS that does the drainless technique. The drains are the biggest complaints I keep seeing. I still have pain from the stretching and from the incision area. My dr did a great job and did it very low. I feel like my body is so foreign when I look down. I guess it will be better when I can stand up straight and the scars fade. They are so red and scary right now. My most discomfort is from having to wear this wrap garment. I'm very tall and I don't think this was the best garment size for me it doesn't cover my entire abdomen and won't stay down low over my hips and down to the lowest part of my incision. I have to constantly be pulling it down. So frustrating. For the first few days it was over my hip and my hip was so swollen and looking crazy. After talking to the nurse, she told me to take it off and redo it lower. I was so uncomfortable. It was like that even at the surgery center. Anyways, that swelling has gone down now and I'm really excited about the results. I'Il post pics when I can figure out how to do it. Thanks for hearing my story!!

Hi, I just got fitted for compression garments today and she told me that it is very important that they fit right for your results. I would talk to your PS about it. There are different compression garments that they can get you. they should definitely cover the areas you had done (from what I can gather). Glad you find the experience worth it so far :-).

I know!! I went in for my post op check up yesterday morning and the nurse gave me a taller one. I feel so much better in this one and it actually stays in place better. I'm so glad they gave me another. I can't believe I was in the wrong size for an entire week. Ugh.

Ok, I'm 12days PO and doing great. Been off pain pills for 3 days now. Have driven a couple of times now too! Got some laundry done and did the dishes. I need to post some pics. My main complaint is having to wear this compression garment 24/7. I'm so uncomfortable and feel so fat in it. I know it's important, but still wishing this would hurry up.
Thank you for posting your story so far! Here's a quick tutorial on posting photos. If you still need help, never hesitate to send me a PM.
Please keep us updated as you continue to heal. And I hope that compression garment gets more comfortable for you.
