Day 1 without my binder

DanyellggFebruary 23, 2015
WORTH IT$15,989
So, I've become very needy of my binder. I have not gone 1 day without it since surgery. It's become very much a security blanket for me and I feel like my guts are going to spill out all over the floor. Anyone else go through this? Have any advice?

you will get to the point of weening yourself off the binder. I had circular TT on 12/8/14 and have been without binder and fine now. I love how the binder makes you feel all snug and put together though :) I now wear boycut undies which seem to feel really good on my tummy and still makes me feel somewhat sexy :) I go for thigh lift 3/7/15 and would love any advice you have. This surgery is the one that scares me the most :( Thanks!

It was pretty rough for the first 3 days, but I had the TT at the same time and breasts done. I had trouble getting up and down from the toilet because I couldn't use my stomach muscles. I would get a few spray bottles to out around the bathrooms and spray EVERYTIME you use the toilet and pat dry. Don't rub. I didn't wear Spanx and I think that hurt my fluid retention. I would try to where Spanx as soon as they say you can. I actually think the thighs were my easiest surgery!:) I was feeling great after a week and by week 2 I was shopping all over the place and caused an opening. So my suggestions are don't over do it when you start feeling great!:) so how did you get over the weird feelings of you TT? I feel like my guts are going to spill out all over!

Question, did you get "fat" within a few weeks after surgery? I so swollen and bloated right now and i feel like all the fat is coming back????!!! I was so flat and now I'm all hanging over myself when I sit down:( I'm so depressed. It could be because I was without my binder all day?

Hi there I'm 6 days PO from thigh lift (full vertical from knee to groin plus medial lift - also had TT revision to include vertical incision). I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions re: pain levels ? Do you remember how bad your pain levels were around this time? When I'm laying still mine seem ok? But any movement, if I get up to walk ( shuffle ) the pain shoots up to a 7 at least! By the time I get back from toilet my teeth are chattering (I'm assuming sort of shock from pain) then it takes a while sitting still for it to settle?? I'm pretty pain tolerant - this is my third and last op of my contouring after MWL. ??

Yes I remember well! It was the same for me for at least a week or so. But I tried to make sure I had recently taken my pain meds and they were kicking in before going to the bathroom. Also use ice packs, it will help. I hope you heal quickly! And be sure to mention to your dr if it doesn't start going down:)

Thank you:) I know it has been a roller coaster but I'm feeling pretty good:) I'm trying to ween myself off my binder because it's become like a security blanky but I slept all night without it!:)

Still feeling weird and late for period

DanyellggFebruary 19, 2015
So- update I'm still having those feelings and my ps said it could be sensation coming back to the muscles but it doesn't feel muscle related. So I posted a question to the Drs on this site and two have said to be evaluated for a hernia. So since my ps is in Florida aNd that's not possible I saw a gp here in England and he said if it is a hernia they would only just watch it. And that he said it's all rather hard and that it could be bruising of the muscles and blood pooling around them. Ugh! What!?!? Like that makes me feel any better! Has anyone had this?? And dos the TT mess up your monthly??
