Question:
I'm amazed at these s (the pics) and how much emphasis has been put on wearing them. I was not informed prior to the surgery but luckily did a lot of my own research. However, I still only use lycra leggings (I had Tummy, I/thigh & flanks )
Miki (or anyone else), are you aware of availability outside of the US, plse?
Answer:
I am curious too, about getting a smaller . Mine came from designs@.com (the PS office supplied it)...it's a M but maybe I should try a S soon? I am 6 days post op. I wasn't informed muhc about that either, I asked the PS's assistant (or whatever she is) about haveing more than 1 garment and she said it wasn't necessary! But I wanna do it if it will really help. It's loose in the legs a bit (I have ny legs...) the middle is quite snug still. But does 'sink in' and also causes a roll at the waist where I bend to sit. Maybe I should stuff something in there to help with that? It's slightly uncomfortable.
And my lower abs (the part I really wanted to fix the most!) aren't looking as good as I'd like so far.
Any advice?
Answer:
Oh yeah, jsut wanted to add that it's not very hard to take off and put on the right now....should it be?
LOL
Answer:
measure yourself now and then order a STAGE 2 based on your present measurements. Should not be loose or so easy to get on. so soon
Answer:
I noticed yesterday that I had a hard lumpy (ropey?) section around my middle so I used my head brace (which I was given for the neck ) and wrapped that around my middle - this morning I see that the lumpiness has gone.
More than 1 use for the headbrace! But one wonders... fat head or ny waist? Anyway, it worked.
Just over 2 weeks P/op and still tender but swelling has reduced a lot. Tummy feels hard and still partially numb.
Answer:
Thanks, yeah I ordered a Stage 2 yesterday and let me tell ya, the NO ZIPPER thing is going to be more comfy I think! Probably harder to put on but...this Stage 1 garment is really bugging the hell out of me! LOL. Where the zippers are ptus extra pressure or something, and they tend to buckle up a bit and push into my sides. Uncomfortable!
A week to wait I suppose till I get the new garment.
I can feel ropey and/or hard areas too but am still pretty tender at Day 7 to use a rolling pin or anything. I have been gently massaging the area right below my belly button though, where it feels kinda of hard and still sticks out more than I hope it will when this is all said and done!
Where do you find a little bitty rolling pin?
Fat head or ny waist....pretty funny Persabel!
