Binder

[ha032742]

Looks so uncomfortable

Interesting that Levick uses the binder initially for compression but Karidis gives the Macom compression vest post-op...I haven't seen any difference in the end result of one compared to the other going by pics on the forum.

Switched to compression vest yesterday nearly passed out when I took it off went light headed everything going well apart from the constipation first time iv ever had it

Looking good! Bet you must be pleased with the result. Levick's done some good work! Yeah I was bunged up for a few days too... luckily it's passed now. Think it was all the medication.

Yer happy left nipple is a bit creased but it were the vest was creased emailed the doc he said to keep the binder on aswell for a few more days due to the size of the burgers movement is very good today

Excellent, you don't have any bruising either. The nipple should sort itself, mine have scabbed over a bit the last few days - think it's just from the rubbing on the vests.

Funny, he never mentioned anything to me about keeping the binder on, I've just been wearing it at night the last few days. I got one of those under armour compression tshirts and been wearing that under the compression vest for max comfort. Still tender to touch around the chest and under my arms but mobility wise loads better now.

[hopetochange]

Yeah they are comfy to wear, especially at -5!! Not quite as cold here -3 it said in the car earlier
