wow never heard that. My doc said VEST 24-7 FOR TWO WEEKS! I would buy one and use it anyway. I don't care what the nurses/ps said! Just my opinion. You can get one online for 40 bucks

all i wore was an ace bandage for 5 days. and then my doctor told me to wear underarmor material for a couple of weeks. I also had a minor case and am extremly healthy. Had no problems with swelling or anything everything is healing up just fine

ya my doc recommended under armor as well down the road

i also only wore an ace bandage for 5 days and that was it.

I wore a vest as well, everyday for 3 weeks after op. I am now 3 weeks and 3 days, and I am starting to take the vest off in the daytime

it looks great man, you dont seem to have scar tissue!

well wearing no vest seems to be working for me. If it wasnt for the stiches i would take my shirt off 3 days post op absolutley no bruising or swelling.

Whether or not you will wear a vest depends upon the experience of your surgeon. Surgical methods may vary and your condition may be different from the last guy. Follow the directions of your surgeon.
