Compression Tensor

[brownman]

What exactly am i waiting for htis to do? Wore it since the 28th and i see no help from it.. i dont have much swelling though......


But when do i know its time to remove it?

My Dr said six weeks.. i think hes crazy i am feelin 100% now just itchy as hell with it on..

next post op appointment is april 13th surjury was march 28th

think its safe to remove it on the 14th ? even though he said six weeks?

You should wear it over a t-shirt to deal with the discomfort.

Once you stop wearing the tensor for 24 hours you will  notice a BIG diffrence in the swelling.

damn so six weeks is how long i should wear it

[brownman]

so ill wear it for four weeks then three weeks at night only


do you think that is sufficient?

Had surjury on the March 28th i will wear it until around April 17/18 24/7 then only at bed time ?

[brownman]

i dont wear it for two hours a day max when im showering and my gym time.. i figure thats fair

Uh.. yes but shouldent that wait until after you heal, not while your trying to recover from surgery?

I know BillyBoy, I'm almost a month post-op and am terrified of touching my weights machine. Dont worry, if you follow doctors orders you should turn out fine. And true brownman will probably be fine, but thats a risk I and I'm sure others arent willing to take.

i heal super quick at two weeks post op i have 0 bruising, minimal scars and just two small lumps of scar tissue byt he lipo scar, my chest is flat and has no scarring or bruises at all, and i had a lot of junk removed so to say.

Going to the gym again on thursday i had to go 10 days post op i feared iw as going to loose my muscle.


1 month you guys should get back at it now

I also healed very quickly. I was back at the gym by week 3. Taking if very easy tho....    

Doctors don't know everything.  Geeze, one member here had a GP prescribe anti-depressants for his Gyne . As with anything in life, you have to listen to others and then make an educated decision for yourself. I would say give yourself at least 3 weeks healing time and then hit the gym at a slower pace than usual. If you feel any discomfort/pain what so ever, give your body another week or two to heal.

You are the only one who knows your body. You are the only one who knows when your body is ready.

do youguys really think that would be equally adequate and provide the same benefits as wearing the vest directly on skin ??

because it sound like that'd be a lot more comfortable thAN THIS Lycra and spandex materiaL PULLING ON my hairy , itchy skin all day/night long for weeks and weeks.

You should shave your chest hair
