Compression Garments/ Waist Training
I have two kinds of garments. My original garment that I had from surgery, and another brand called Vedette "Stephanie".
My original garment I received from Oretgas office, I used to hate that thing. Lol. It was like a torture device in the beginning but now that I'm not swollen it is comfortable so I use it to sleep at night. The only thing I don't care for is the way the flap that shields your skin from the clips and zipper leaves a deep indentation mark on my stomach. I sometimes use ab board to to avoid it but it only blocks so much of it. Only concern for the marks is I have read few ladies have had a permanent indent mark from their garment or ab board. I don't want that. So I switch a lot between garments so its not on long enough to make my skin stay that way.
I also use the Vedette "Stephanie" which I love. The compression is amazing but getting into it at first is such a b****!!! Lol. I also absolutely love the fact that their are no zippers or hooks so you won't see it under your clothes. They do run a bit small. I would definitely say treat yourself to one of these :) they do run a bit small. I'm 5'4, 170, waist 32" hips 45" and I wear an XL. It is hard to get on, the struggle is definitely real but don't give up lol you won't regret it once it is on ;) Once you wear it a few times it gets easier to out on.
My waist cincher I bought from perfectmysilhouette.com I have bought from them for a couple years now. I recommend them too. I wear my cincher everyday all day. I only take it off to sleep.

shout out to Ortega's anesthesiologist.. Gave me the best nap of my life see :D I was knocked out!! Lol
I love Ortega, I def will return to him for my future surgeries. My man said he is the only one allowed to do my surgeries. He is superrrr pleased with the results ;)
Check your prescriptions before you leave. I'm allergic to PCN , yet was prescribed meds that contained it. Thankfully the nurse caught it before surgery. Also the prescription they gave me was a copy. I got the run around and huge problem because there was no actual signature, just a copy of the signature. Such a hassle and run around.
This faja... There has to be a better method. It chokes the life out my lady lips... not cool :/
I know im not even healed yet but now I want fat transfer to my breast. I'm going to start looking into that :D
Also, I swear I can't wait to sit. I used to hate sitting around all the time. Now I'm dying to be able to sit. Lol.
One last thought.... Ortega is the man... You should definitely treat yourself and see him :)
