Hi Guys.

Quick question.

As the summer will soon be upon us and i don't want to cook to death, do you think it will best to wear a bandage wrapped around my chest on the hot days rather than the compression vest?

I will be getting my revision early may and don't fancy cooking to death with a compression vest on.....plus it will be more noticable just under a t-shirt...

Any suggestions Guys?

I'm going to have my OP end of may, and going on holiday in July, gona be roasting hot with my compression vest on  :o

I had my consultation with Levick though, and he reccomended the vest for compression after 7 days post op. I'm just a bit worried about not having a shower for a week until I take the bandages off  :-X.

I would definately wear the vest though to help with your recovery.
