New Garment

WORTH IT$6,000
I brought a new compression garment and it hurts like hell it's a size M but I swear it's just to small maybe I'm just to big for it I mean it fits but it's really tight on my arms and I'm still wearing the board on the inside to keep from creasing... It's not the whole suit I should say I guess it's just my arms. I go to the dr on the 24 so I'll ask him should i get a bigger one. I'm not seeing much change in my body at this point so I know I need to step up my exercising but I did change my eating habits no more fried chicken or fast foods so hopefully that will help!!

Well I haven't Ben updating much just pretty tired from working and not getting much sleep I had a check up with my PS this past Tuesday he said everything was healing fine by everything he only meant my stomach because that's all he checked he was in and out so quick! I just had a really bad crease from the compression garment I guess because of how I was sitting on the plane ride down to Miami it was terrible and so uncomfortable. He gave me like this board thing to put in the front so right now I'm wearing the board in the front and the lipo foam in the back. My thighs and my arms pretty much look the same I'm getting the massages but I'm not sure if there working but I am using the hand held one every other day . The nurse did say I needed a new garment the one I have is to loose so I'm going to order another one tomorrow I spent like 300 dollars on garments alone already now I need another one so annoying. But if any one can give me any tips on losing a lil weight with this process I'm all ears I want the best possible results thanks.

Well I started swimming and water exercises at six weeks. While I was in Phoenix, 6-12 weeks, I swam 6 days a week. Now in Colorado I swim 3 days a week. I watch what I eat, and do daily yard work. With 2 acres of yard that takes quite a bit. I have lost 17# since surgery in January. You r looking good. R u getting the results u like?

Well with my stomach yes back yes but my arms and thighs are still big so I guess I just got to wait. When can I start working out I got on the treadmill last week for 15 mind I think and then I started feeling sharp pains sooo

My Dr had said to stick with walking for the first six weeks. I think each Dr has different recommendations for each patient. I would call the Dr office and ask. My Dr also said not to lift more than 5# for six weeks. I wondered if he had ever lifted his wife's purse.

Hi there. I just saw your pictures and you're looking great already. Congrats! To answer your question, I'd say that it's really up to you. I never used the lipo foam under my CG, but used a binder given to me by my dr post surgery. I purchased the exact binder from her supplier (miller-medical.com) and they cost less than $50. It worked well for me. There are other women who have had great success with the lipo foam too. I just can't say much beyond that. I'd also like to suggest that you wear is a camishaper or thick vest under your CG all the time to serve as a barrier between your body and the CG. Finally, you may have to also adjust the way you sit a bit. In other words, rather than sit "in" your chair all the way, you might want to consider sitting in the middle or closer to the edge with both feet crossed under your chair. This allows you to sit upright and straightens your whole torso while sitting. If you sit further into your chair, your torso will be more compressed/relaxed causing more indents than you'll like. Pls. don't expect never to see any indents/marks when you take off your CG. You can however, try to control the volume. I hope this helps and all the best which ever way you decide to go :-)

Thank you I appreciate it and where can I get a camishaper from it if you don't mind me asking???
May 19, 2014
You can ask all the questions you want:-) You can find the Camishaper at your local CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart. If neither stores have them, just go online and google "camishaper" or you can also try amazon.com too. They are sold 3 in a pack (white, brown & black). They're pretty inexpensive. I hope this helps :-)

Any particular size I can tell my boyfriend to bring me one home once he get off work... Hopefully he gets it

It should be based on the size of your tops now. Just keep in mind that it's a stretchy material.
