Update for you ladies!! Im walking pretty much upright. I think what helped was that I made myself walk the day of (every few hours). When i was able to take a shower , boy did it feel weird. I tied a loose cloth around my neck and pinned the bags onto it. My stomach felt so weak and wobbily when i took the compression off for the first time. On that note, my 2nd garment is a spanx body garment, with a breast cut out. Normally i wear a m , but that was way too tight. I ended up with a large, which started out tight too. Khols. Still sleeping in my recliner. Got myself off all the meds now!! Im not sure if it is normal, but i sweat alot at night. This week to get my endurance up, I made myself go shopping, but taking it easy afterwards. This recovery was harder than i thought, But i see the light. I have to say the swolleness has been going down every day!! Ill keep you ladies posted!!

All the anxiety leading up to surgery was for nothing! I only remember walking down a hall way and laying down then waking up!
With all the pain meds in my system going home wasnt the issue. Ladies please keep up the meds. I can literally feel the stitching of the muscles that needed repairs. With all the meds,i ended up oral thrush which made things alot painful. I was so bloated, but couldn't drink fluid, because it hurt to swallow. Now that they gave me stuff needed for that lets hope it goes away!! I the getting up and sitting down got alot easier. Stomach just feels like I've been working out alot. Coughing and laughing is hard. I had a old recliner that i stuffed myself with pillows and blankets. Because of the thrush o have been sipping on ck stock.. ill update on the next couple days when i don't feel groggy

Welcome to the flat side! Sorry to hear about the thrush but glad everything else went well! Happy healing!

Ugh, thrush is no fun. Once that's clear you will feel so much better. You are past the hard part!

I’m glad to hear all the anxiety fades when it’s time for surgery. Can’t wait to see pics

Thank you ladies. Im finally 11 days post op, got one drain out and finally healing. Is it common to swell up quickly? Also when did you ladies get to wear to wear step 2 garment? Thrush is gone!!

So glad you're doing well! I'm now 7 weeks po and still have a little swelling, and like a lot of ladies it can get a bit worse later in the day. I'm just starting my stage 2 garments - maybe later than most people, but to be honest I liked the security feeling of my stage 1. Regarding the swelling, my surgeon explained that you have to imagine that where the skin has been separated from the muscle it leaves an open pocket which naturally can fill with fluid. Until the skin re adheres to the muscle fully this can continue. I was advised plenty of rest and patience:) Isn't it just so brilliant being flat though? :)

I was told i can wear my step2 now, because my original garment digs into my skin. What brand did you get?
