Tami...MODEAN RYAN

Where are you gal? Are you still re-cooping?LOL

OOPS! It's me Tami. I was still logged in under James name.LOL Tonya

Why James - how Thoughtful you are!!!! I was wondering the same thing...she usually posts the pictures almost immediately....I can't wait to see everyone's selections!

HAHA!! Hey girl, I didn't tell you how great you looked in that brown shirt! You looked really slim. How'd the compresion garmet hold up through all the dancin'? Hugs, Tonya

It held up really well actually. Gave me lots of nenrgy and stayed in place well!!! I just wish they weren't so expensive - I'd buy another one!

Dee Dee, Did it hurt at all??? I am a BIG baby!!! I definitely need something that gives me lots of energy!!! Hugs, Becky

It didn't hurt....the first time getting it on was a struggle...but the more you do it the easier it becomes. Beauty comes with a price!!!!

Dee Dee, Describe the compression garment. When I had my panniculectomy I was given six I beleive. They are really expense but, my insurance company paid for them. I am glad you guys had a fun time last weekend, maybe I can make the next one. Crece

The one I have is from the top of the knees to over the shoulders. It's a body stocking from the knee to the hip area, then over the stomach and up the ribcage is a double lining of the compression material. It hooks in the front with eye clasps (the same clasps that are on a bra). There are about 40 - 50 of them....so they're pretty durable. Unfortunately I have decided to return mine because the first one I tried was calf lenght - but it rolled up and would gather behind my knees....which had me concerned about clots. I changed it to the knee length one...but it also seems to be rolling and I have too high of a risk in my family to develop clots.... I have tried others.....and none really felt as good as this did. I had to evaluate wether or not it would be worth keeping this and risking a different prbolem later on.....so that is why i've decided to return it! If they cover them after a panni - then I'll get one then....but for now I"m not going to worry about it!

We IM'd each other earlier so I know she is alive and kicking, whom or what is the question! Love ya babe..lol lynn
