    Oh I’m counting down the days to get rid of the foam vest that has been absolutely awful it’s started pinching me a bit and I have ridges where it over laps on the sides I’m hoping these will go once I no longer have to wear it ?

    You poor thing – so glad i didn’t need that but it will feel weird not wearing my all in one compression garment, are you taking it all off at 4 weeks or carrying on for 6? x

    Hi Louise @foxtrot0503 how long past surgery are you now? I am a week tomorrow and my flanks vasered … Am in absolute agony with the foam vest! Covered in bruises and have so much fluid retention … Were you like this? I go on holiday in 5 weeks so garment should just be off all together but so worried about the pain, swelling more etc etc! I was hoping to look good and slim in time for holiday 🙁

    i am now 4 and a half weeks . the pain is bad I agree with you, I also thought the foam vest was causing me a lot of pain but actually its worse without it and just the spanx on. I am having to still sleep in the foam vest as i need to support to get comfy. I am still swollen it goes down at night and gradually gets worse through the day it seems to be on my lower back mostly. I was black and blue from my rib gage to below my bum. my legs also went massive between week 1 and 2 this has now settled but still have a bit of swelling in my ankles. Hang in there i have bad nerve pain at the minute but seeing the light at the end of the tunnel my results are very good!
