For the women of whom I have been speaking with. This is the garment I have a recommend. I love it.
As for my swelling in the front under my bra line, my ps out a syringe in it and took some fluid out of it today. I felt some immediate relief, but it feels tight again now, so I am actually going to ask him to do it again. Thank God it didn't hurt when he stuck the needle in. But I thought I was going to faint just looking at it.

I took my 3rd shower today, and it's getting a little easier. I am still very very swollen. I hope it will come down more. I have a lump of swelling right under my bra line that is the most painful area , any ideas ladies ?? I had the muscle repair too so I'm not sure if that can be related to that area. I am going to ask my surgeon on Monday at my 2 week PO. My scar tape started peeling off in the shower, so when I got out I looked really good at it first, then assisted in taking it off, just in case it wasn't ready. My scar I feel looks amazing. I am very pleased with its appearance. My only concern is the painful area is swelling. Again, to all the ladies on this site I love you guys !! Truly, I do. I don't think I could of done this with out all of your support, experiences, and advice !! I am forever grateful!!

Looking great! Did you have any lipo done on your back at all? I didn't have any swelling on my back but that may be from your BBL

I had lipo of the tummy, flanks, back, and thighs. MR, TT, and bbl. the only spot that hurts is right under my bra line in the front. I feel that is why I can't stand. That's where it pulls and hurts.

Yea your back pain must be from the lipo then. I had back pain but it was from not being able to stand straight for almost 3 weeks and from muscle repair. Being hunched over kills your back too.

It could be from your MR. I also have painful pulling under my bra line across the ribs in the front when I try to stand straighter. I didn't have lipo there. But, I had MR and TT like you, in addition to hernia repair with mesh. I've been forcing myself to roll my shoulders backwards whenever I stand just to try to improve my posture.

Still have the garment off. Doc took it off yesterday and removed my last drain. I thought I was going to faint when he did. Putting it back on was very difficult, like putting on jeans 5 yes 5 sizes too small it took him my husband and me to get the new one on. I feel more normal in it. I came home last night and took my first shower. It was so tiring and stressful taking a pic was the last thing on my mind. Now I wish I had but I'm swollen and quite normally so. The surgeon said I really won't see the final result for 6 months. Wow that's a long time. Any one else told that ?

I'm still in my hospital binder. I just received my compression garment that my surgeon custom ordered for me in the mail and it does look difficult to get in to. Unfortunately, I was told the same thing that the swelling could last for months also. Hang in there and happy healing!

I'm sure that will go away soon though and you'll have an hourglass shape :)

Thanks for asking! It was April 14. I had a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and hernia repair. My recovery has been really hard. My surgeon used a lot of stitching at first to try to repair my muscles and fix the hernia, but when that didn't work, he inserted a permanent mesh. I'm still having trouble standing, walking and just moving around in general.
