I had the LBL with a Fleur de lis and am 5 weeks out. I had a compression garment that i bought from the hospital and i would recommend you purchase 2. I had some leakage going on from my incisions so it was nice to have a back up while the other was in the wash. T-shirts under my garment was a big help.
Also, i wish someone would have told me about bowel movements...i heard if you take magnesium a week before, it will help things moving for after surgery. I wasnt prepared, but when I actually had the "movement"...it felt like i was giving birth...so maybe ask your surgeon about what you can do to prepare....Good luck!!
