My doctor has told me I can lose the binder & switch to a girdle. Here's my dilemma. I've also had brachioplasty & I need to minimize the amount of energy required to get in & out of this next garment. Currently I am unable to zip myself into my present garment by myself which has made toileting a real pain as I have to schedule myself around when my family will be home. I really need to regain my independence!
I was thinking that a torsette may be best during the day. I am also contemplating purchasing a stage 2 garment for at night. I love the way I feel in my garment & I feel that once I become more active I'd appreciate the compression at night. I'd really appreciate input. Thanks!

I got a terrible rash from my binder so my surgeon told me to go buy a "Cupid" garment from Walmart. There are different ones but he told me to get the one that goes down and looks like shorts but it goes way up for support there. It has 6 hooks in front and they are comfortable and give support. I think there is 3 different colors and cost 13 something.

Cindy, my surgeon gave me a GREAT compression girdle, and I just ordered another one. The reason I like it so much is because it has hook and eye closures AND a zipper over top of them. It's very comfortable, and mine extends from underneath my boobs to mid thigh. The web site is www.morrisdesigns.com and I have the girdle style #4. I think it was $80. Check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't wear anything that goes down my thighs because I haven't had them done & they're considerably larger in proportion to my torso so sizing would be a problem & also they would likely not lay flat on my thigh rolls.
I've got to get something quick because this one is just too big now.
