For the Pinoys - Compression

[Endless]

Ano pong prefered niyong compression? any suggestions? mga vets?  

elastic Bandages - di gaanong masikip, mabilis masira. sinusuot ko pag lumalabas ako
Ab binder - masmasikip, masmakapal, pero mas kita sa ilalim ng shirt. sinusuot ko lang in private
adidas compression vest - parang bali wala lang.

[sadgyneguy]

for hiding the gyne ba o after ng surgery?

what I am doing is:

wrap my chest with elastic bandages with modess on the site of operation para may extra compression to avoid hematoma. after I wrap it with elastic bandages, I wrap it with an Ab binder.

pansin ko sa ab binder is may mga position na di nya macocompress ang chest, like pag nakatungo. reason kung bakit ilang beses akong nagkahematoma..  now nilagyan ko ng elastic bandage to ensure na compressed ang chest ko no matter what kung ano man ang position ng katawan ko kasi it will adjust due to its elasticity. ang problema minsan ng elastic bandage is nagra wrap pailalim at minsan nawawala sa position.. so I put on the abdominal binder to support the elastic bandage and provide extra pressure.


kung gagamitin lang naman for recovery, I might stick with the elastic bandage and ab binder. mukhang mahal ata yung adidas compression vest. although meron akong underworks compression vest at eto ang gagamitin ko sa ika 4th week ko.

Nice style Sad. Im more concerned with hiding the bandages/binder. With your setup, hindi ba halata?
i thought maybe may gumagawa ng mga creative na technique with use of tapes or other materials para hindi halata.
pero as of now hindi ko na masyadong problema since almost 3 weeks na ako so matatangal ko na siya finally

astig meron ka nang compression vest. pero mas prefer mo yung bandage+binder kesa diyan before 4 weeks? howcome? btw, 3 weeks din lang ba ang recommended ni doc para sayo? how long are u planning to wear the vest

root,

found something good! ask a girl to buy for you a binder sa lingerie section. some sales ladies ata refer to this as girdle. para syang ab binder without the foam. brand na nabili ng mother ko is "Sogo". maganda to compared sa 3 pinost mo. check it out! price sa SM is php380

i'm sharing this to you guys kasi tried and tested ko na. hindi sya mainit kagaya nung ab binder. mas mainit ng konti lang at mas makapal compared sa elastic bandage. eto ngayon gamit ko. sinabi to sakin nung secretary ni doc benny, bing ata name nya. dalawa sila sa makati med na assistant eh, si tin ung isa.

anyway, try it! good binder to. comes in different sizes nga pala. bought an L but will be buying a Medium para mas malaki masikip.

pwede rin gamitin ng mga gusto lang itago yung gyne for the meantime.

feedback nalang dito after.

nice Aion, glad to hear thats working for you! pasyal ako sa ladies' section minsan hehe, baka meron yung mga nakabox na para madali bilhin. if ever magparevision surgery ako this should come in handy.

sa pictures merong legholes tsaka para sa hips, ginupit mo siya tapos ginamit mo lang yung para sa tiyan?

oo nga pala regarding sa pagfit ko ng compression vest
Small na yung size, malaki siya sa chest, masikip sa tiyan. hindi naman malaki ung tiyan ko, average lang hehe. so bali wala talaga, hindi pala gumagana. I doubt that other brands will work. Yung price niya pala 990 lang ata. On sale. but orig price is 1200+.

root,

yung sinasabi kong binder is just the same as a regular ab binder but without the foam. the packaging actually says it's for men and women. yun nga lang nasa women's section lang naka display. wala nang kelangan gupitin. just use it as is. velcro din yung pan lock nito just like the foam ab binder.

i mentioned kay doc kanina na plano mo magpaulit sa kanya pero sabi nya alam daw nya ok ka na and maganda nga daw result..? although we may be talking about different ppl since di nya alam mga nicknames natin dito sa forum, and di rin natin alam real names ng isa't-isa hahaha. anyway, i suggest you talk and let him know asap.

lol

sana nga hindi na hehe
well ung swelling its really hard to tell baka paranoia ko lang. pero common pala ang swelling, im reading this thread now
https://www.gynecomastia.org/smf/index.php?topic=21691.0 it can take upto 3 months and the poster here says parang wala ding nagbago sakanya
ung isa ding tinakutan ko ay yung fat na nagain ko itong christmas season ay deretsong pumunta sa chest ko    hehe

[payberbred]

i used 3 compression vest from underworks.. post surgical and recovery.. i got it from amazon.. medyo may kamahalan pero it's all owrth it.. critical ang recovery stage kaya dapat sigurado..

airo, kung girdle diba yun ang sinusuot ng mga babae na parang panty?  so dapat may gugupitin?  kasi na mention mo wear it as it is, unless I'm referring to a different kind of girdle...baka makakita ka ng picture jan?

meron akong nakita online, pero hindi naman aabot sa chest? hehehe tulong naman...

[Endless]

un din iniisip ko sa girdle.. pero i think what hes refering to may be ung sa taas ng panty house. baka may 2 kinds, or baka ung picture, always pinapakita kasama ung pantyhouse.. but its attached to an ab binder and it looks like isang piece lang sya?

[Endless]

Guys, how Seriously po nyo ginagamit ung compression Post surgery.. 1 month, 3 months? 1 year?

I was informed that Doc advises us 3 weeks lang. (atleast minimum i suppose).
Does everyone agree?

After the 3rd week, tinangal ko na kase during the day and sa gabi ko nalang sinusuot. pero ung iba 1 year.. and minimum 3 months..
is there a chance that I compromised my recovery by removing it for a week?

sorry for the confusion, bro. binder sya talaga. it's just that some of my girl officemates referred to it as girdle, and that's what the sales lady at SM called it too. i don't have a pic to show you for now but if you are familiar with the ab binder (usually blue or red with foam to make you perspire), it looks like that without the foam. flesh ang kulay nito na may velcro rin. try mo nalang magpahanap sa ladies section, mention mo yung "Sogo brand na binder".

kuhanan ko ng picture bukas tapos post ko dito.

I'm still wearing mine now (24x7). 6th week na. bale bumalik ako kay doc on my 4th wk, sabi nya pwedeng hindi na pero kung kaya ko  pa daw, 1 more month pa para mas maganda yung healing.

nagtry rin ako na alisin for 2hours last monday, feeling ko namaga ulit nang konti around the arreola kaya sinuot ko ulit. nagsubside yung swelling after a few hours kaya nagdecide ako na ituloy tuloy na for 2 more weeks para kumpletong 2 months.

[Endless]

wow tindi ng dedication mo Airo! 24/7 ka pa din. great job sir!
nafeefeel ko pa yung Areola numbness hangang ngayon (6 weeks post op)
