I wear THESE sleeves and love them. I'm 3 months out, but still wear the sleeves because they keep my silcone strips in place. They're comfortable to me so I don't mind wearing them.

Hijack Laura! I like your garment! It's very similar to mine. I am the same time frame as you and I am wearing mine 24/7 because they keep my silicone strips on and my arms feel 100% better.

Hey Melissa,

How far down to your elbow is your incision? Mine goes to the elbow and around a bit. I only got the short sleeved (from Marena) and wished I would have gotten the 3/4 length to cover the entire elbow. Having said that I really like their products and have their high waisted ab garment, and will be getting a full body suit for my upcoming June procedures as well.

My incision goes to my elbows. I think I am going to order the 3/4 sleeve. My arms are short so it may just end up closer to my wrist anyway. It seems like Marena has some of the more reasonable garments. Some of DesignVeroniques garments are pricey.

I absolutely love the Marena - 2nd stage arm sleeve. I get the one that is mid forearm. I accidently bought the full sleeve and I find my hands swell with it. I guess it cuts me right at the wrist. I also have elbow one but that cuts into my incision that is just past the elbow. Veronique has some pretty ones with lacey ends, BUT the back of them hit my underarm incisions and they rub and make them hurt. The Marena ones are much cheaper too and if you use the code word (coupon word) Skinny, you can get them for a much lower price.

I ordered the same one from Marena. I ordered a compression garment as well and saved 30% on both! Thanks!

Terri!
You're so sweet! I have to admit, IF I am not smiling, I look 15 years older! My face hangs to bad now! BUT I am going to have a full face lift with neck work and eyes done in September! (I should be at goal by then!) I can't wait!

I love my band!
