Natalie help?

I go back Thurs. to the PS how long have you wore the binder? Its a pain in the rear so to speak, and I didnt have rear surgery? When did you go back to your bed?

HI Melinda I'm not Natalie..but wanted to respond.  If the binder is hurting your rear..pull it up a little bit.  I wore my binder until about a week and half ago.  I am now almost 8 weeks po TT.  I slept in my bed after a week, with a wedge pillow behind me...I put a regular pillow under the wedge ..then a pillow over the wedge that i wanted to put under my head.  Hope this helps some.  I know of other postops who wear their binder 24/7 for months after ps. hugs..keep in touch

If you want to keep that flat tummy and avoid the severer swelling you will wear the pain in the rear until your plastic surgeon tells you to take it off . I know you feel bad .. and it hurts .. and the binder is not the most comfortable thing .. but sweet Melinda .. please listen to someone that has been there and done it  , I had the anchor cut ..not sure how he did yours ,, makes no diff .. but the binder we wear for swelling and to keep everything intack  ,  You can put on a white tshirt .. then put the binder on if it is hurting your skin . If that is too hot than you may have to just put it on with out the shirt .  Take your pain meds as prescribed .. and rest ..  PM me and i will give you my new email addy ... if you have any other questions , I canceled my yahoo account for personal reasons .. take care ..  Big Hugs ,, little ones for now ..  Nat  ps .. i still wear the binder on days i swell .. and swelling can go on for a year or more ,  remember i did have the TT too .. just the anchor cut ..  smile .. is all you can do

Hey....how's your tushy doing?????
