Full Body Compression Garments?

I've been told that I will need a full body compression garment with sleeves.  I've looked at several websites and have a couple of questions:  1) they are kinda pricey (close to $200) is there a cheaper site somewhere that I haven't found? 2) how do you get those things on? I fight with my regular girdle now and I'm not swollen or stitched up.  I'm really worried about how to get that thing on and then have to go to the bathroom.

Stage one garments have zippers...very easy to get in and out of.

You could also do a full body (high waist to below the knees or even to the ankles) and a separate one with sleeves (do you need it just for the arms or for the arms and breasts?).

There are lots of options...I'm going in for my inner thighs and arms next month and I'll be wearing 2 separate garments....one for the lower body and one for the arms. 

FYI - all the stage one garments I've worn have open crotches so bathroom stuff is not a problem.  :-)

I'm having thighs, arms and upper body lift (no breasts)   Going to the potty scares me cause I'm always waiting until the last minute then scrambling to get out of my clothes.   Zippers seem to be much easier than the hook and eye closures (I'd never make it with those...LOL)

Don't want to scare you but the garments have hook and eye closures and then zip up.  :-)
You'll be fine!!

cool, thanks!

Just spoke with my surgeons office and they will give me a 2 piece garment when I come home  but I probably will go ahead and get a 1 piece so I can always have a clean one to wear.

Baylor is providing my garments. One for the lower body and one for the arms. That should work. I'll probably get me an extra set too.
