My insight is - you did the right thing by buying both! My sizing for compression stuff was all over the place after all of my surgeries. And, even at 4 weeks, be prepared to not actually want to pull anything on - I was much happier with compression garments that had hooks and eyes and zippers the entire way up.
Also.. if surgery is next week and you'll be in the abdominal binder for 3-4 weeks, I think you might want to return them now and rebuy them when you're closer to needing them? Since you're outside of the 30 day window.

Hi All -
my LBL is scheduled for next week. The nurse told me I'd be wearing a hospital-supplied abdominal binder for the first 3-4 weeks, then I could switch over to a Spanx girdle.
I went to a department store because they carry the more heavy-duty line of Spanx ("Sculpt"). I'm between a medium and a large - couldn't decide which to get. I'll have less skin - so maybe medium. Or I may have a lot of swelling - so maybe large. AAARRRGGH. I ended up just buying them both since they can be returned within 30 days. But who knows - I may end up needing both, depending on how swollen I am on any given day.
any insight on this, though? As I said, I can always return one (or both!), but I''m just curious. Thanks!

I've used it for some of my scars, and haven't for others, and I don't see a significant difference.

Hi! So I am a week out from a LBL and was provided one bottle of the BioCorneum, but told I would most likely need more at $100 a pop! I saw other options for buying on Amazon, but I also know they sell a lot of fake products. My question is, are there no alternatives to BioCorneum that are equally as good and at a lower cost, or should I suck it up and pay $100 a bottle? Thanks!
I don't know about BC but in Ontario only panni and breast reduction is covered if you meet the qualifications.

The xiphoid can protrude a lot at the tail end of weight loss, but it seems to disappear after a while. It's one of the many reasons most surgeons prefer people to be stable at goal weight for a year before plastics.
