i have a question...

[socorock]

Hello, im having surgery on the 1st june. I asked my PS wether i will be wearing a compression vest after surgery or not and he said no, only a dressing to go home in. I was just wondering, is it reccommended to wear a compression vest after surgery? and what happens if you dont? I do have a compression vest that i bought from underworks to wear under my tshirts on a daily basis, so would it help if i wore this? please help, thanks.

If he tells you not to wear a compression vest, then i think you need to rethink about choosing a diffrent PS.

Every ps I talked to before my surgey said I would have to wear a vest. As far as I know you have to wear a comp vest for all surgeries that include a form of lipo. Where did you find your ps?

Any other opinions? I am now very nervous and anxious about the surgery.

Thanks for the reply, I'm from the UK so you wont have heard of him before. I've just emailed him about it. How important is it to wear one?

My PS never told me to wear a compression vest either. Just a wrap for a few days. If your case is mostly glandular then I wouldn't be concerned.

when i consulted my PS, he too said the SAME thing, even though i asked him again do i need to wear a compressed vest, said no ....
i think u shud also know that he insisted that i go for gland exicision.
Any take?
Can we really determine the quality of PS with the fact that what he recommends post op, it cud be that he has seen many of his patients doing fine with just a bandage (incidentally this is what my PS told me)
though i havent decided on my surgery date, but i liked this PS ( Dr Susheel Cleitus, Bangalore)
